AI agents and MCP
OpnForm's remote MCP server lets AI agents create and preview a private form draft without requiring a login. OAuth adds workspace-aware form management and read-only submission search, statistics, and exports. The installable portable and native plugin package lives in plugins/opnform/. See the MCP integration guide.
Quick Start
The easiest way to get started with OpnForm is through our official managed service in the Cloud.
For self-hosted installations, please refer to our Deployment Guides. For local development, we provide a minimal Docker-based setup - check out our Docker Development Guide.
The client npm run build also checks the public form bundle size and eager dependencies. This check reads .nuxt/dist/client/_nuxt, independently of Nitro's deployment output directory (including AWS Amplify's .amplify-hosting). Run its regression tests from client/ with node --test scripts/check-public-form-bundle.test.mjs.
Form list performance
The dashboard fetches lightweight summaries in batches of 50. The API keeps its default page size of 10 and its maximum of 100 for other callers. It paginates forms before loading view and completed-submission counts for the returned IDs. Historical views use an index on form_statistics.form_id, and the aggregate is explicitly aliased as total_views_count so the model uses the preloaded value.
The index migration runs outside a transaction and uses CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY on PostgreSQL to keep writes available. It also recovers an invalid index left by an interrupted build. Run this migration through Laravel normally; do not wrap it in an external transaction. MySQL and SQLite use the standard schema index migration.
Codex worktrees
Codex creates an isolated local environment for each worktree. It uses a dedicated PostgreSQL Docker volume and local Laravel/Nuxt processes, so sibling worktrees do not share ports, data, or API configuration.
Use the Codex Start app, Reset DB, and Stop app actions when available. You can also run the scripts directly:
./scripts/codex-worktree-setup.sh
./scripts/codex-worktree-up.sh
The startup command prints the worktree-specific URL. Opening its root URL automatically signs in the local Codex admin (e2e@example.test / Abcd@1234). The seed also creates three forms, including five completed submissions across two public forms, so the dashboard and submission screens are immediately useful. Reset only the current worktree database with:
./scripts/codex-worktree-reset-db.sh
Run the browser suite against the running worktree with:
./scripts/codex-worktree-test-e2e.sh
PDF template fields
The PDF editor removes zones linked to deleted fields and lists them before you continue. Save the template to keep the cleanup. Mappings retain field names when created or saved, so deleted fields can still be identified. Older mappings without a saved name appear as “Deleted field” with their page number.
