Ikiform

Ikiform for Claude Code and other agents

Ikiform is the backend for any form. Point an HTML form, a framework form or a server request at https://ikiform.com/f/<formId>. Ikiform validates the post, blocks spam, stores it and sends signed webhooks.

This repository has two things:

• An Agent Skill (ikiform) that teaches a coding agent to connect a form to Ikiform, post from a server, verify Ikiform webhooks and triage submissions. It works in Claude Code and any agent that reads SKILL.md skills.
• A Claude Code plugin that bundles the skill with the Ikiform MCP server, so the agent can look up your forms, create them, read submissions and debug webhooks.

Install in Claude Code

In a Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add preetsuthar17/ikiform-plugin/plugin install ikiform@ikiform

Or from your shell:

claude plugin marketplace add preetsuthar17/ikiform-pluginclaude plugin install ikiform@ikiform

Set your API key

The plugin's MCP server reads your key from the IKIFORM_API_KEY environment variable.

1. Create a secret key at https://ikiform.com/dashboard/api-keys.

2. Give it the scopes you want the agent to have:

   Scope	Lets the agent
   forms:read	List forms and read a form's endpoint, fields and setup steps
   forms:write	Create forms and change name, allowed domains or redirect URL
   submissions:read	List and read submissions
   submissions:write	Mark spam or not spam, and delete submissions
   webhooks:read	List webhook endpoints and deliveries
   webhooks:write	Send test events and replay failed deliveries

   forms:read is enough to wire forms into your code. Add more only if you want the agent to do more.

3. Export it in the shell you start Claude Code from, for example in ~/.zshrc:

   bash

   export IKIFORM_API_KEY=ik_sk_...

4. Start Claude Code and run /mcp. The server shows as plugin:ikiform:ikiform.

The key is a secret. Keep it in your shell profile or a secrets manager, never in a repository or in browser code.

The skill works without the key. Without it, the agent asks you for the form id from the dashboard instead of looking it up.

Use it

Ask in plain words, for example:

• "Connect the contact form in this project to Ikiform."
• "Add a waitlist form to the landing page and send it to Ikiform."
• "Verify Ikiform webhooks in our Express server."
• "Show me this week's spam on the Contact form."
• "Why is my Ikiform webhook failing?"

Or run the skill directly with /ikiform:ikiform.

The agent asks before it deletes a submission or replays webhook deliveries.

Use the skill in other agents

The skill is a plain Agent Skills folder: plugins/ikiform/skills/ikiform/. Copy it into your agent's skills directory.

With the skills CLI, for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and other agents:

npx skills add preetsuthar17/ikiform-plugin

Claude Code without the plugin:

git clone https://github.com/preetsuthar17/ikiform-plugin ikiform-pluginmkdir -p ~/.claude/skillscp -R ikiform-plugin/plugins/ikiform/skills/ikiform ~/.claude/skills/ikiform

Use .claude/skills/ikiform inside a project instead to share it with your team. For other agents, copy the same folder into the directory that agent reads skills from. The skill uses only name, description and license in its frontmatter, so it stays portable.

Connect the MCP server without the plugin

Server: https://ikiform.com/mcp, Streamable HTTP, authenticated with Authorization: Bearer ik_sk_....

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http ikiform https://ikiform.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer ik_sk_..."

Cursor

In ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or .cursor/mcp.json in a project:

{  "mcpServers": {    "ikiform": {      "url": "https://ikiform.com/mcp",      "headers": {        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:IKIFORM_API_KEY}"      }    }  }}

VS Code

In .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks for the key the first time and stores it securely:

{  "inputs": [    {      "type": "promptString",      "id": "ikiform-api-key",      "description": "Ikiform secret API key (ik_sk_...)",      "password": true    }  ],  "servers": {    "ikiform": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://ikiform.com/mcp",      "headers": {        "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:ikiform-api-key}"      }    }  }}

Tools

The full list of tools and the scope each one needs is at https://ikiform.com/docs/mcp#tools.

The server also has a connect_form prompt that returns setup steps for a form.

Check changes

With Claude Code installed:

claude plugin validate --strict .claude plugin validate --strict ./plugins/ikiform

Without it, or in CI, run the offline checks. They need Node 20 or later and no packages:

node scripts/check.mjs

They check that every JSON file parses, that SKILL.md has a valid name and description under the Agent Skills limits, that its relative links resolve, and that the marketplace entry matches the plugin manifest.

To try a local copy before publishing:

claude plugin marketplace add ./claude plugin install ikiform@ikiform
