Build with PlatoForms — API, Playground, and AI assistants
Everything you need to integrate PlatoForms with your product or workflow: full REST API reference, a live playground to try requests, and an MCP server that puts your forms one question away from your AI assistant.
API Documentation
The complete REST API reference. Create forms, pull submissions, generate filled PDFs, and automate your document workflows from your own code.

Which should I use — API, Playground, or MCP?
Use MCP if you want an AI assistant to act on your forms conversationally. Use the full API when you’re ready to build a custom integration from scratch. If you already have a published form with a submission, the Playground lets you test API calls against it directly — see What do I need before I can use the API Playground? below. -
What’s the difference between the API and MCP?
The REST API is for developers writing custom code — full control, any integration. MCP lets you use AI assistants like Claude or Cursor to work with your forms conversationally, without writing code. Setup varies by tool: Claude connects with one click from Settings > Connectors, Cursor requires a short edit to~/.cursor/mcp.json, and OpenAI Codex is configured via a few terminal commands. See the MCP setup guide for step-by-step instructions. To connect with an API key instead of OAuth, see the API key setup section of the MCP setup guide. -
What do I need before I can use the API Playground?
Before opening the Playground, make sure: your form has been published, it has at least one submission, you are on a free trial or a paid plan, and the email address on your account is verified. See the API Playground guide for full details.
