About GravityKit
A mature Gravity Forms suite is quietly wiring AI and MCP into every layout
GravityKit ships weekly across a deep bench of Gravity Forms add-ons — GravityView, Maps, Charts, Calendar, DataTables, Import, and Zero Spam. Recent logs mix genuine capability (3D maps, distance sorting, cross-form GravitySearch) with steady bug-fix hygiene. The suite's newest thread is agent-facing: GravityKit MCP and Block MCP now let AI assistants build and edit Views and themes.
