How to connect Makeform to Claude

Add Makeform's hosted MCP server at https://mcp.makeform.ai in Claude's connector settings to work with your forms and responses. Makeform is not in Claude's connector directory yet, so you add it as a custom connector with the URL https://mcp.makeform.ai and sign in with your Makeform account (OAuth). The connection is free; use these steps if your Claude plan supports custom connectors. Using ChatGPT? See make a form in ChatGPT.

Is it free? Yes. Makeform requires no paid plan for MCP access, but feature plan rules still apply, such as Pro for translation.

Steps

  1. In Claude on claude.ai or Claude desktop, open Settings > Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name the connector Makeform and paste https://mcp.makeform.ai as the URL.
  3. Click Connect. You are sent to Makeform to sign in.
  4. On Makeform's Authorize Application page, click Approve.
  5. Back in Claude, ask it to call get_workflow_guide first. Then try “List my Makeform forms” or “Create a draft RSVP form for a June 14 picnic.”

Connect from Claude Code

Run this command to add the server, then run /mcp inside Claude Code to sign in:

Terminal
claude mcp add --transport http makeform https://mcp.makeform.ai

Or connect using a Makeform API key:

Terminal
claude mcp add --transport http makeform https://mcp.makeform.ai --header "Authorization: Bearer $MAKEFORM_API_KEY"

The server uses Streamable HTTP and supports OAuth or an API key sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>. The rate limit is 60 requests per minute.

Review drafts before publishing

create_form and create_form_from_prompt always create drafts. Edits are proposed with propose_form_edit before they are applied with apply_form_edit.

FAQ

What can Claude do with my Makeform account?

Claude can list forms, create and edit drafts, publish after confirmation, read submissions, export responses, and get analytics. Tools include list_forms, get_form, list_submissions, export_submissions, get_analytics_summary, create_webhook, and get_form_embed.

Can Claude translate a form on the free plan?

The MCP connection is free, but individual features keep their plan requirements. The translate_form tool requires Pro.

Can Claude publish a form without confirmation?

No, publishing needs a preview and a second, confirmed call. Creating a form through the connector makes a draft.

Where do I revoke Claude's access?

Open Makeform's Settings > Connected apps to manage or revoke access. Approved OAuth apps are listed there rather than under API keys.
