Read your WordPress form submissions with an AI agent

WP MCP now speaks the four form builders most WordPress sites run, each through that plugin’s own API:

  • Gravity Forms (gravityforms-read): forms, fields, entries, notes
  • Formidable Forms (formidable-read): forms, fields, entries
  • WPForms (wpforms-read): forms and field definitions
  • Contact Form 7 (contactform7-read): forms, markup, and mail templates

Every one of these is read-only. Form-builder entries live in each plugin’s own tables, which are not something WP MCP can snapshot for one-click rollback, so it reads them but does not write them. That makes this a safe way to let an agent work with your forms.

What you need

  • WP MCP installed and connected to your AI client (see the WordPress MCP plugin guide).
  • One or more of the form plugins active. Each integration registers only when its plugin is present, and reports itself unavailable otherwise, so nothing breaks on a site that does not run it.

Inventory your forms

Ask across whichever builder you use:

› List my Gravity Forms forms with their entry counts.
› List my Formidable forms.
› What fields does the WPForms Newsletter form have?
› Show me the mail template for my Contact Form 7 contact form.

The agent calls the matching read dispatcher and returns the forms, their fields, and (for Contact Form 7) the mail routing.

Triage submissions

For the builders that store entries (Gravity Forms, Formidable):

› Go through the last 20 entries on the Quote Request form, group them by what
  people asked for, and flag anything urgent.

The agent pages through the entries, reads individual ones when it needs detail, and hands you a triaged summary. Because it is read-only, you can let it explore every submission freely.

A note on Contact Form 7

Contact Form 7 does not store submissions at all, by design. So for CF7 the agent reads the forms themselves, their field markup, and their mail templates, which is useful for auditing what your forms collect and where their email goes, but there are no entries to read.

What is next

Entry management (marking, moving, deleting) is deferred across all four until it can be done with one-click rollback. Until then, pair form reads with WP MCP’s content tools so an agent can, for example, read a week of submissions and draft a summary post, with every write to your content snapshotted first.
