Cursor + MCP: Operating Form Responses Without Leaving the Editor

Cursor is an editor with a model that can call outside tools. FORMLOVA is a remote MCP server exposing forms, responses, emails, analytics, and workflows as structured tools. Connect the two, and the model already open for your code can also draft, publish, and triage the feedback form the release depends on.

Be precise about the division of labor: FORMLOVA does not run its own AI feature here. Cursor's Agent reads your prompt, decides which FORMLOVA tool to call, and FORMLOVA's server executes the request and returns structured data. The intelligence is Cursor's; the tool surface is FORMLOVA's.

The tool call, not a dashboard click

Once FORMLOVA is registered as an MCP server and authenticated, a plain prompt in Cursor's Agent mode becomes a tool call:

  • Show this week's feedback with satisfaction of 3 or lower.
  • List only the responses that mention bugs and summarize them.

Each request returns structured results in the Agent pane. No dashboard tab, no manual filter UI, no context switch away from the code you were just reading.

Write actions stay gated server-side

Publishing or editing a form through the same chat does not mean the model can act unchecked:

  • Publish this form. -> blocked: duplicate prevention not set, privacy policy URL missing

FORMLOVA's server enforces the checklist regardless of what the client sends, and returns a confirmation-token request before any publish, delete, or bulk-send actually executes. That boundary lives in FORMLOVA, not in Cursor's prompt handling, so it holds even if the model misreads the instruction.

Response state changes from the same window

Triage requests read naturally, and the resulting status change is a tool call too:

  • Mark responses with satisfaction 5 as testimonial candidates.

The full setup - .cursor/mcp.json, OAuth, project vs global config, and the Slack MCP boundary - is in the Cursor MCP server setup guide.
