Troubleshooting
Cannot connect+
Check that the URL is correct. All clients use https://formlova.com/api/mcp. Make sure there are no extra slashes or characters.
Authentication screen does not appear+
Your browser's popup blocker may be the cause. Allow popups for formlova.com and try again.
Cannot return to client after authentication+
Make sure you are logged in to FORMLOVA in your browser, then reconnect from the client. Some clients require you to switch windows manually.
Tools are not showing+
Restart the client. Windsurf requires a full application restart. For Cursor, check the status in the settings screen.
Only some tools are showing+
Restart the client. The tool list may not have refreshed yet. If it still doesn't update after restarting, remove the connection and add it again.
A public form URL does not recreate the fields+
Private or login-required pages cannot be extracted. Use a publicly accessible form URL that anyone can open.
The screenshot match is close but not exact+
A screenshot alone may not reveal the exact font name, hover states, or hidden elements. Adding a public image URL or a public page URL usually improves accuracy.
A cloned external form behaves a little differently+
Visible fields can be recreated, but service-specific behaviors like confirm-email validation or complex branching may still need review after cloning.
"Unauthorized" error+
Your session may have expired. Remove the connection and add it again.
Connection error on ChatGPT+
Open Settings > Tools & integrations and check that the URL is https://formlova.com/api/mcp. If it shows /api/sse, remove it and re-add with /api/mcp.
Cursor / Windsurf status shows red+
Check that the URL is correct in the settings. For Windsurf, try a full application restart. For Cursor, click the "Reconnect" button. If it still doesn't work, remove the configuration and re-add it.
Cannot create forms / "plan limit" error+
Form creation is unlimited on all plans, including the free plan. If you see this error, log out and log back in. If it persists, clear your browser cache and try again.
Responses come back in English even though I'm chatting in Japanese+
Change your language to Japanese in your profile settings. Just say "Set my profile language to Japanese" in the chat.
FAQ
Is FORMLOVA free to use?+
Yes. Form creation and responses are unlimited on all plans. You can start immediately with the free plan. Paid plans (starting at 480 yen/month) unlock additional features like custom auto-reply emails and reminder notifications.
What is MCP?+
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI clients connect to external services. Once connected to FORMLOVA, you can create, manage, and analyze forms entirely from your favorite AI chat.
Which AI clients are supported?+
Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and Gemini CLI are supported. Other clients that support MCP may also work.
Can I recreate an existing form from a public form URL?+
Yes. If the form URL is publicly accessible, FORMLOVA can read the visible field structure and recreate it as a draft. Private or login-only pages are out of scope.
Can I just send a screenshot or poster for design matching?+
Yes. A screenshot or poster is usually the fastest design reference. Public image URLs and public page URLs can be added as supporting material when you want more precise matching.
What happens if my request is vague?+
That is expected. FORMLOVA is designed for natural requests like "match this", "make the same form", or "show me the current status". It only slows down to confirm destructive or sensitive operations.
Can I manage responses and email operations entirely in chat?+
Yes. You can search responses, update status, tag them, reply individually, send filtered emails, find non-respondents, and inspect email activity without leaving the chat.
Do I still need the dashboard?+
Chat is the primary interface for daily work. The dashboard still exists as a secondary surface for monitoring, list views, and fine-grained checks when you want them.
What if the connection is not working?+
Check the Troubleshooting section on this page. The most common causes are a mistyped URL or not being logged in to FORMLOVA in your browser.
Can I use multiple AI clients simultaneously?+
Yes. You can connect from multiple clients with the same account at the same time. All data is automatically kept in sync.
Where is my response data stored? Is it secure?+
All data is stored in an encrypted database and protected with encrypted connections. Only the form creator can access their response data -- no one else can see it.
Can I cancel my paid plan at any time?+
Yes. You can cancel anytime from the dashboard. Your plan stays active until the end of the billing period, and your data is never deleted.
Can I use FORMLOVA with a team?+
Yes. You can invite team members with three permission levels: view-only, editor, or admin.
Are there additional charges for AI usage?+
No. FORMLOVA does not charge for AI. The AI processing happens on your client (such as Claude or ChatGPT), so there are no AI-related costs in your FORMLOVA subscription.
Can I export my response data?+
Yes. CSV and Excel exports are available on all plans, including the free plan, with no limits.
