REST API and MCP Tools
FormGlut Pro adds a REST API for forms and entries, and MCP tools for AI assistants through the WordPress Abilities API.
Authentication
The API uses WordPress’s own authentication: cookies with a nonce (for code running in the admin), or Application Passwords (Users › Profile › Application Passwords) for outside apps.
Every route checks the same FormGlut permissions as the admin screens, including the role manager and per-form entry access. See Roles and Access.

"fields": { "f1a2b3": "Jane Doe", "f4c5d6": "jane@example.com" },

}Required fields and email addresses are checked. With "notify": true, the notifications and integrations run as for a normal submission.
Example

"https://example.com/wp-json/formglut-pro/v1/entries?form_id=3&per_page=5"MCP tools (Abilities API)
On WordPress versions with the Abilities API, FormGlut Pro registers these abilities, which MCP clients and AI assistants can call:
| Ability | What it does |
|---|---|
formglut/list-forms | All forms with their IDs and status. |
formglut/get-entries | Entries of a form (newest first), optionally filtered by status or a search text. |
formglut/submit-entry | Save an entry for a form. fields maps field IDs to values. |
formglut/form-summary | Counts per answer for the choice fields of a form, and the number of entries. |
They use the same permissions as the REST API.
