What is Gravity Forms?

Gravity Forms ships an MCP server, putting AI assistants on a direct line to WordPress form data.

Gravity Forms is a stable, mature WordPress form builder in an active maintenance cycle, shipping add-on updates across its ecosystem weekly. Core 3.1.1 brings fixes and additions; SMTP 2.3.3 adds routing controls and security hardening. The product's feature surface is largely set, with incremental polish running in parallel across a wide integration catalog.

What is SchemaHero?

SchemaHero's beta train is CRD correctness work, one commit per tag.

The v0.26.0 beta line ships as a series of single-commit tags: Doppler added as a secrets source, the Slack app removed, RBAC role rules updated, and a fix enabling the status subresource on the Table custom resource. The status fix was the substantial one, correcting all four tracked CRD artifacts and finding the same omission on Function. Each tag carries one change, so the version count reflects commit granularity rather than release scope.

Gravity Forms vs SchemaHero: editorial side-by-side

G6.3

Gravity Forms ships an MCP server, putting AI assistants on a direct line to WordPress form data.

◆ Current state

Gravity Forms is a stable, mature WordPress form builder in an active maintenance cycle, shipping add-on updates across its ecosystem weekly. Core 3.1.1 brings fixes and additions; SMTP 2.3.3 adds routing controls and security hardening. The product's feature surface is largely set, with incremental polish running in parallel across a wide integration catalog.

◆ Where it's heading

The MCP server launch is the defining move of this period — it connects Gravity Forms directly to AI assistant workflows, a step no other WordPress form builder has taken. A new official Klaviyo Add-On expands first-party marketing automation reach alongside existing Salesforce and HubSpot ties. Gravity Forms is building toward being the data-collection bridge between WordPress sites and modern AI and marketing stacks.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI-assisted form creation and entry analysis features building on the MCP foundation; the protocol provides the surface area that makes AI feature extension tractable.

S5.0

SchemaHero's beta train is CRD correctness work, one commit per tag.

◆ Current state

The v0.26.0 beta line ships as a series of single-commit tags: Doppler added as a secrets source, the Slack app removed, RBAC role rules updated, and a fix enabling the status subresource on the Table custom resource. The status fix was the substantial one, correcting all four tracked CRD artifacts and finding the same omission on Function. Each tag carries one change, so the version count reflects commit granularity rather than release scope.

◆ Where it's heading

This is operator hygiene rather than feature work: making the Kubernetes custom resources behave the way controllers expect, and widening where database credentials can come from. The addition of a regression test that verifies every served Table CRD version enables /status suggests the project is closing a class of bug rather than a single instance. Nothing in this window changes what SchemaHero does to a database schema.

◆ Prediction

The status subresource audit already spread from Table to Function and confirmed DatabaseExtension; finishing that sweep across the remaining custom resources is the work these entries point to.
