Available tools 8

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

form
get_form
Get full details for one form by its id (from search_forms): description, regulatory citation, the exact fields it collects, and free print / Pass options.
get_form_maker_pass
Pricing and checkout links for the Blue Crane Form Maker Pass: one-time purchase that strips all Blue Crane text from printed PDFs (clean, client-ready paper) and auto-fills saved company details across all 126 forms.
categories
list_categories
List the form categories (WSIB & incidents, site safety, vehicles & equipment, finance, subcontractors, etc.) with what each covers and how many forms it holds.
estimate
estimate_contractor_tax
Estimate 2026 income tax, CPP, and take-home for a self-employed Canadian contractor or tradesperson (sole proprietor) by province. Uses sourced CRA and provincial rates from tradestaxcalculator.ca. Provinces: ontario, alberta, bc, saskatchewan, manitoba, new-brunswick, nova-scotia, pei, newfoundland, yukon, nwt, nunavut (no Quebec). Planning estimate, not tax advice.
forms
search_forms
Search Blue Crane's compendium of 126 Canadian contractor forms — Ontario, Alberta and BC statutory worksheets plus Canada-wide site paperwork (safety, statutory worksheets, inspections, invoices, sign-offs, site logs) by keyword, form number, or alias (e.g. 'FLHA', 'form 1.2', 'hot work', 'toolbox talk'). Returns matching forms with citations and free fill-and-print URLs.
hst
hst_quick_method
Compare the CRA Quick Method of accounting for HST against the regular method for an Ontario contractor: what they would remit and keep under each, with the break-even. Planning estimate.
required
required_hourly_rate
Work backwards from the annual take-home a contractor wants to the hourly rate they must bill, accounting for 2026 income tax and CPP in their province plus billable time. Planning estimate.
which
which_form_do_i_need
Describe a jobsite or paperwork situation in plain language (e.g. 'starting an $80k renovation in Ontario', 'GC is not paying my invoice', 'crew doing welding tomorrow') and get the forms that fit, with citations and free print links. Guidance only — not legal advice.

Forms — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Forms do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: estimate_contractor_tax, get_form, get_form_maker_pass, hst_quick_method, list_categories, required_hourly_rate and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Forms working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 72 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Forms?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Forms need an API key?
No. Forms completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Forms?
It answers our handshake in 72 ms on average, which is faster than 93% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Forms open source?
Yes — it is published under the NOASSERTION licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
