Connect this server

Endpoint below is the one we actually reach during checks — not the one copied from a README. Last verified 6 min ago.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add formfeed --transport http https://mcp.formfeed.dev/mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "formfeed": {

  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: FORMFEED_API_KEY (Formfeed API key: ff_test_… renders free with a watermark, ff_live_… consumes units), FORMFEED_REGION (API region of the workspace). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, but it did not say what kind of credentials it expects.

This server publishes 1 more address. The block above uses the one we reach during checks; the full list is under Endpoints below, and the author may intend a particular one for your client.

Formfeed — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Formfeed?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 68.2% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is Formfeed working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 45 of 66 checks got a reply (68.2%), average response time 175 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Formfeed?
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. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.
Does Formfeed need an API key?
Yes. Every time we knock, Formfeed answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.
How fast is Formfeed?
It answers our handshake in 175 ms on average, which is faster than 79% 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.
How many people use Formfeed?
The npm package @formfeed/mcp was installed 615 times in the last week. Week over week that is +829%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Formfeed open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 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.
