Paperform

Paperform is a flexible online form builder that combines beautiful design with serious digital smarts

Verdict

Paperform is a form and landing page builder. This MCP lets your team @mention Paperform to pull form data, list submissions, and check which forms exist across workspaces. Marketing and ops teams use it to audit form inventory, retrieve submission counts, or check translation availability without logging into the Paperform dashboard. The MCP reads form metadata and space structure — it doesn't create forms or export individual submission records. Best for teams that run multiple forms and need quick visibility into what's live.

Common use cases

  • Audit all live forms before a campaign
  • Check which forms have translations enabled
  • List forms in a workspace for handoff
  • Verify form inventory across teams
  • Pull form metadata for reporting

Setup

Setup guide

  1. 11. In Switchy, open your workspace settings and navigate to the MCP Integrations section. 2. Click 'Add Integration' and select Paperform from the list. 3. You'll need a Paperform API key — generate one by logging into your Paperform account, going to Settings > API, and creating a new key. 4. Paste the API key into Switchy's connection dialog and click 'Connect'. 5. Switchy will verify the key by listing your accessible forms. 6. Once connected, open any Space and type '@Paperform list my forms' to confirm the integration works. 7. If you're on a Paperform Business plan, you can also query forms within specific spaces using the space ID.

What teammates see: by default, memories from Paperform are scoped to the Space (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

Example outputs

Illustrative - representative of the model's voice and quality, not literal recordings.

Prompt

@Paperform list all forms in our workspace and show me which ones have the most submissions this month

Output

Found 12 forms across your Paperform account. The top performers by submission volume are: 'Customer Feedback Survey' (247 submissions), 'Event Registration 2024' (189 submissions), and 'Product Inquiry Form' (134 submissions). The remaining 9 forms range from 8 to 67 submissions. Note that submission counts are inferred from form metadata — Paperform's MCP provides form listings but doesn't directly expose submission analytics, so this ranking represents an illustrative synthesis of what the AI might derive from available form data.

Notes

This example shows the MCP's read capability for listing forms, combined with AI reasoning to rank by activity. The actual Paperform API returns form metadata (title, ID, status) but may not include real-time submission counts in the list endpoint — the AI would need to cross-reference or estimate based on available fields. Requires API key with read access to forms.

Prompt

@Paperform show me all spaces in our account and tell me which space contains our customer onboarding forms

Output

Your Paperform account has 4 spaces: 'Marketing Campaigns', 'Customer Success', 'Internal HR', and 'Product Feedback'. The 'Customer Success' space contains 6 forms, including 'New Client Onboarding Checklist' and 'Account Setup Wizard' — these appear to be your customer onboarding forms based on their titles. The 'Marketing Campaigns' space has 8 forms focused on lead generation, while 'Internal HR' and 'Product Feedback' each contain 3-4 forms for their respective domains.

Notes

Demonstrates the MCP's ability to retrieve spaces and their associated forms (a Business API feature). The AI infers which space holds onboarding forms by analyzing form titles within each space. This workflow requires a Paperform Business plan and an API key with space-level read permissions. Useful for auditing form organization across large accounts.

Prompt

@Paperform check if we have any translation sets available and summarize what languages our forms support

Output

Your account has 3 translation sets configured. The primary set covers 'Customer Feedback Survey' with translations in Spanish (es), French (fr), and German (de). A second set supports 'Event Registration 2024' in Japanese (ja) and Korean (ko). The third set provides Portuguese (pt-BR) translations for 'Product Inquiry Form'. This means your forms collectively support 6 languages beyond English, with Spanish, French, and German being the most broadly applied across your highest-traffic forms.

Notes

Showcases the MCP's translation-listing capability, which is critical for teams managing multilingual forms. The AI synthesizes language coverage across translation sets to give a strategic view. Paperform's translation feature is available on higher-tier plans — ensure your API key has access to translation metadata. This example is illustrative; actual translation structures depend on how your team has configured language variants.

Use-case deep-dives

Multi-language form audit for support team

When Paperform MCP wins for translation consistency checks

A 6-person customer success team runs intake forms in English, Spanish, and French. They need to verify that field labels match across translations before a product launch. The Paperform MCP pulls all translations and forms in one pass, letting the team compare versions in a shared Switchy thread without toggling between the Paperform UI and spreadsheets. The List Translations and List Forms tools handle the retrieval; the team pastes outputs into a comparison prompt. This works cleanly for teams managing under 20 forms. If you're running 50+ forms across 10+ languages, the manual comparison step gets tedious—at that scale, a dedicated localization platform with diff tooling is the better call. For small-team form audits, this MCP closes the loop in under 10 minutes.

Agency client handoff with space inventory

Paperform MCP for agency form handoff documentation

A 3-person agency builds Paperform workflows for clients and needs to document what's live before handoff. The Get Space and Get Space Forms tools let the team pull a full inventory of forms organized by client workspace in a single Switchy session. They generate a handoff doc that lists form names, space IDs, and access notes without manually screenshotting the Paperform dashboard. This is the right move for agencies managing 5-15 client spaces with API key access. If the client is on Paperform's free tier (no Business API), the Get Space Forms tool won't work—you'll fall back to List Forms and manually sort by client. For agencies doing regular client transitions, this MCP turns a 2-hour admin task into a 15-minute automation.

Quarterly form usage review for ops lead

When this MCP helps ops teams audit active forms

An operations lead at a 12-person SaaS company runs quarterly reviews to archive unused forms and clean up their Paperform account. The List Forms tool surfaces every form the team has access to, and the lead drops the output into Switchy to filter by creation date or title keywords. This replaces the manual click-through of the Paperform dashboard and gives the lead a text artifact to share with stakeholders. It's a good fit for teams with 10-40 forms who want a lightweight audit process. If your form count exceeds 100, the List Forms output gets unwieldy—you'll want a BI tool or Paperform's native analytics instead. For mid-sized teams doing periodic housekeeping, this MCP delivers a clean snapshot in under 5 minutes.

Frequently asked

What does the Paperform MCP do in Switchy?

It lets your AI agents read form structures, list spaces, and pull translation data from your Paperform account. You can ask an agent to summarise which forms exist, check what's in a specific space, or retrieve multilingual form versions. It doesn't submit responses or create new forms—it's read-only access to your form library and workspace organisation.

Do I need a Paperform Business plan to use this MCP?

Only if you want the Get Space Forms tool, which lists forms inside a specific space. The other four tools—List Forms, List Spaces, Get Space, List Translations—work on any paid Paperform plan. You'll need an API key from your account settings regardless of plan tier. Free Paperform accounts don't issue API keys.

Can the Paperform MCP submit form responses or create new forms?

No. It's strictly read-only. You can list forms, inspect space metadata, and pull translation configs, but you can't POST submissions, duplicate forms, or edit fields. If you need to automate form creation or response ingestion, use Paperform's webhooks or Zapier integrations alongside this MCP for the read side.

Why use this MCP instead of just logging into Paperform?

Your AI agent can answer questions like "Which forms are live in the EMEA space?" or "Do we have a German translation for the signup form?" without you opening a browser. It's faster for auditing form inventories, cross-referencing spaces with other tools in Switchy, or generating reports that combine Paperform metadata with data from Notion or Slack.

Who on the team should connect the Paperform MCP?

Whoever owns the Paperform account and can generate an API key—usually a marketing ops lead or product manager. The key inherits that user's permissions, so if they can see a space or form, the MCP can too. Don't share the key across multiple Switchy workspaces; create separate keys if you need isolation.
