Write & Destructive Tools
⚠️ Note: The MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration lets AI assistants access your Gravity Forms, including reading, creating, updating, and deleting forms, entries, and settings (including API keys). AI assistants can make mistakes. Enable write access only when necessary, validate outputs, maintain regular site backups, and consider how your AI assistant will have access to form-collected data.
These tools let AI assistants create, update, and delete your forms, entries, and other data.

Endpoint Mode
The endpoint is the URL your AI assistant connects to to access Gravity Forms.
Dedicated Endpoint
Gives Gravity Forms its own direct connection. The assistant can see and call all Gravity Forms tools immediately without any extra steps. This is the recommended option for most sites.
Site MCP
Uses a shared WordPress connection used by all MCP-enabled plugins on your site. The assistant reaches Gravity Forms indirectly, through a generic discovery layer, which can make it slower and less reliable. Choose this only if you want a single connection point for all your plugins, and your AI client doesn’t support multiple MCP connections.
Agent Skills
An agent skill is a file you install into your AI assistant that teaches it how to work with Gravity Forms.
Without it, the assistant can still connect to and use the tools, but it lacks specific knowledge of Gravity Forms’ structure. Examples: which field types exist, how conditional logic works, or what order to follow when building a form. The skill fills that gap, making the assistant faster, more accurate, and less likely to make mistakes when managing your forms and entries.
