Read and triage Gravity Forms submissions with your AI agent

This guide points an AI agent at your Gravity Forms data through WP MCP. When you are done, you can ask things like “how many Contact entries came in this week, and what are the common themes?” and it will read the real submissions and answer, and clean up spam on request.

What you need

  • WP MCP Pro, connected to your AI client (see the WordPress MCP plugin guide). Gravity Forms is part of the Pro forms adapter pack.
  • Gravity Forms active on the same site. Any license level works; the integration uses the standard GFAPI.

While Gravity Forms is active, WP MCP registers gravityforms-read and gravityforms-write.

Step 1: Confirm the integration is live

› List the Gravity Forms operations available through WP MCP.

The agent calls gravityforms-read with the reserved list-operations and gets back the catalog: list-forms, get-form, list-fields, list-notifications, list-entries, get-entry and get-notes, plus update-entry-status on the write half.

Step 2: Find your forms

› List my Gravity Forms forms with their entry counts, and tell me who form 1 notifies.

list-forms returns each form’s id, title, active state, field count and entry count; list-notifications shows where submissions are emailed.

Step 3: Read and triage

› Go through the Contact form entries from the last week, group them by topic,
  and flag anything that reads as urgent.

The agent pages through list-entries (newest first, with an optional active / spam / trash filter), reads single submissions and their notes with get-entry and get-notes, and hands you a triaged list. Entry operations need manage_options, because submissions are personal data.

Step 4: Clean up spam

› Mark the entries that are obviously spam as spam.

update-entry-status moves an entry between active, spam and trash, the way Gravity Forms’ own entry screen does. Each change is snapshotted as a before-image of exactly that entry row, so rollback-operation puts it back. Entry deletion is deliberately not offered.
