The Formly MCP Server is currently experimental. Available tools and behaviour may change without notice. Use it to explore and give us feedback.
Formly exposes a first-party MCP server so you can connect external AI assistants — such as Claude Desktop or Cursor — directly to your Formly workspace. Once connected, the assistant can read and edit your devices, documents, and data keys, search FDA standards and 510(k) summaries, and run Formly’s built-in regulatory AI agents on your behalf.

​
What’s available

The server exposes tools across three areas: Your workspace — read and write operations on your Formly data: list organizations and devices, read and edit data keys and documents, create custom documents, search documents by keyword, and view document templates. Regulatory research — browse and full-text search the built-in standards library, look up FDA 510(k) predicate summaries, and run semantic memory recall over Formly’s expert knowledge base. AI agents — trigger Formly’s agents directly: the predicate researcher, the standards & guidances researcher, and the expert reviewer. Use get_agent_run_result to poll for results once a run is in progress.

​
How to connect

The server is available at: 
https://mcp.formly.ai/mcp
It uses OAuth 2.0, so no manual token is required. Your MCP client will redirect you to sign in with your Formly account the first time it connects. The exact setup steps depend on which client you use. In general:
  1. Open your MCP client’s settings or configuration file.
  2. Add a new MCP server with the URL https://mcp.formly.ai/mcp.
  3. Set the transport type to Streamable HTTP (or HTTP / SSE, depending on your client).
  4. Save the configuration and restart the client if needed.
  5. When prompted, complete the OAuth sign-in with your Formly account.

​
Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop supports remote MCP connectors. Follow Claude’s guide to get started with custom connectors using remote MCP, then use https://mcp.formly.ai/mcp as the server URL for Formly. On the first tool call, a browser window will open asking you to sign in to Formly.

​
Troubleshooting

OAuth sign-in doesn’t complete — Make sure your browser isn’t blocking pop-ups from your MCP client, and that you’re signing in with the Formly account that has access to the relevant devices. Tools don’t appear after connecting — Restart your MCP client and check that the server URL is exactly https://mcp.formly.ai/mcp with no trailing slash. Connection errors — Confirm your client supports Streamable HTTP or SSE transport. Stdio-only clients are not supported.
