Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Formdesk

Ask your AI what came in on a form, what someone answered, or to fix a typo in a submission. It can list forms and their entries, read and update entries, get an entry as a PDF, export all entries of a form and read uploaded files. It can also register and update visitors, the people who log in to fill in your forms.

Questions

What can the AI do in Formdesk?

The AI can list forms, entries, files, visitors and users, read an entry with all its answers and download files. It can add and update entries, delete an entry, get an entry as a PDF, export a form's entries and register or update visitors.

Does the AI see my Formdesk credentials?

No. Your Formdesk credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start by only reading forms and entries. Deleting an entry is permanent and cannot be undone, so it can require your approval before it runs, as can updating entries. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Formdesk account. Formdesk counts API calls against your Formdesk credits, which is between you and Formdesk.

Does the AI use Formdesk credits?

Yes. Formdesk charges 1 credit for each API call, and every tool call the AI makes is an API call. You get 100 free credits and can buy more from Formdesk, so keep an eye on your balance if the AI reads many entries.
