OpnForm added a full MCP server in v2.4 — AI assistants can now build, preview, and manage forms without touching the UI.

◆Current state
OpnForm shipped its MCP server in v2.4 (August 2026) and spent v2.5 hardening the guest-first flow: forms can now be built from Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or Codex without an account, with read-only previews before any data is saved. The official OpenAI plugin is distributed and verified. v2.3 added Make/Albato integrations, AI formula generation for computed variables, and an audio form block. The product has moved from a self-hosted form tool to a tool explicitly designed for AI agent workflows.
◆Where it's heading
The MCP investment is the clearest strategic signal in OpnForm's recent history: two consecutive major releases have been organized around making forms AI-native — first adding the server, then hardening the security and guest-first creation flow. Computed variables gaining PDF support and AI formula generation in the same cycle completes a workflow where an AI agent can construct a form, define computed logic, and generate a submission PDF without human intervention.
◆Prediction
The next focus will be MCP submission handling — an AI agent that can build a form should also be able to query and act on its submission data. v2.4 added submission reading via MCP; expect richer filtering, aggregations, and webhook-triggered agent actions in the next release.

    v2.5.0: Smarter form creation with MCP

    v2.5 hardens the MCP layer introduced in v2.4: guest-first form creation no longer requires a sign-in before the first preview, output schemas are structured and consistent across all tools, and the official OpenAI plugin is fully distributed and domain-verified. PDF computed variables arrive as a standalone addition. Security tightening on account email changes and password reset round out the release.

    v2.4.0: MCP, campaign attribution, and richer notifications

    ⚡ SPARK

    v2.4 is OpnForm's MCP release: AI assistants can create and preview private form drafts, hand them off to the editor, and — after OAuth — manage forms and read submission data. Native campaign attribution (UTM, ad click IDs) arrives alongside. Two functionally distinct additions in one release, but the MCP server is the headline: it changes what class of tool OpnForm is.

    v2.3.0: Automation, audio, AI formulas, and self-hosted PDF fixes

    v2.3 adds Make and Albato integration, AI-assisted formula generation for computed variables, an audio form block, and automatic submission retention with configurable cleanup. Each is independently useful — formula AI lowers the barrier to computed logic, while audio fields open new use cases like voice capture in applications.

    v2.2.2: E2E CI reliability

    v2.2.2 fixes GitHub Actions E2E reliability on hosted runners — memory exhaustion during form-creation test scenarios. Internal CI fix, no user-visible changes.

    v2.2.1: Self-hosted reliability and file-link controls

    v2.2.1 makes self-hosted OIDC sign-in more resilient (auto-recovery from redeemed auth codes, trusted-proxy support), adds configurable file link validity periods (24h–30d), and enables Custom Code for active self-hosted Enterprise licenses. Three distinct improvements for self-hosted operators in one patch release.

    v2.2.0: More reliable self-hosting and PDF generation

    v2.2.0 tightens OIDC configuration for self-hosted instances (update without replacing client secret, URL refresh without recreating the connection) and improves PDF image reliability. Focused on reducing deployment pain for self-hosted operators.
