MKT AUTO
Velocity5.0

Advanced WordPress form builder with calculations, views, and data-driven applications

Formidable Forms keeps handing MCP tools to each add-on, now Landing Pages.

◆Current state
Landing Pages v1.0.04 adds MCP support, so AI clients can list, create, update and delete landing pages, and fixes pages loading when the setting is disabled. It follows the October 14 wave: core v7.0 with spam entries and shortcode hardening, and MCP tools in Visual Views and Coupons. A day earlier the Forms API add-on let plugins ship their own MCP support.
◆Where it's heading
MCP support is moving into each add-on rather than living in a central API layer, so the whole suite becomes operable by AI clients piece by piece. Spam handling is becoming a first-class entry state that add-ons respect. September's work on drafts, abandonment and Stripe points the same way: more forms completed, cleaner data.
◆Prediction
Expect Stripe and Conversational Forms to get their own MCP tools next, and follow-up patches for 7.0's security changes.

    Landing Pages v1.0.04

    Landing pages join Views and Coupons as add-ons AI clients can manage through the Formidable MCP. It confirms the one-add-on-at-a-time MCP rollout, with two Yoast and settings fixes alongside.

    Formidable Forms v7.0

    The major version hardens the [frm-field-value] shortcode and escapes Lookup and Dynamic field data like other entry data, closing paths to unescaped HTML and data leaks. It also adds spam entries with a cleanup cron, a new entry state that Views already respects.

    Coupons v1.1

    AI tools can now manage coupons through MCP, and a bug that required saving a new coupon twice is fixed. Another add-on taking on its own MCP surface, as the Forms API release anticipated.

    Visual Views v5.13

    Views can now be listed, created, edited and deleted through the Formidable MCP, sort numerically on non-number fields and exclude spam entries. It applies both of this week's threads, add-on-level MCP and the new spam state, to the display layer.

    Forms API v2.0.2

    Forms API v2.0.2 lets add-ons that ship their own MCP support take over automatically, leaving the API add-on to fill only what is missing, and adds user_id to entry create and update calls. It continues the pattern of moving capabilities out of central plugins and into each add-on.

    Datepicker Options v3.1.1

    Datepicker Options v3.1.1 fixes inline jQuery date fields that rewrote an entry's saved date when it was opened for editing, and keeps the saved date selectable. It is cleanup after v3.1 moved datepicker settings out of Pro and into this add-on.
