Model Context Protocol
MCP is the interface an AI client uses to work with someone else's tools — ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or an agent you built yourself. asksteps runs such a server. Six tools are open without signing in: an agent can check a PDF and draft a form before anyone has an account. For anything touching your account, it needs your permission.
Server address: mcp.asksteps.co
Six tools need no sign-in. The agent reads the plans, searches the public pages, sees the available designs and the ready-made templates, checks a PDF for fillable fields — the file is not stored — and turns a conversation into a draft. Back comes a link you can open without an account.
After signing in through the browser, the agent can list your forms and funnels, read their statistics, fetch the submissions and look up your plan and usage. You grant each of these permissions separately.
Create a form or a branching funnel, change an existing one, build one from a template, store a PDF as a template. When changing, everything the description does not cover stays as it is: the agent leaves design, intro page and success page alone unless it sends them along on purpose.
Publishing, taking a page offline again, deleting a form, changing the plan. For that you grant a separate mandate — time-limited, and for the plan with a highest plan and a monthly cap. Without one the agent only gets a confirmation link for you to act on yourself. Any team member can revoke the mandate at any time.
The access belongs to the Starter plan and above. On top of that you flip a switch in your account that is off by default. A plan alone unlocks nothing.
Form Builder
Drag elements from the palette onto the canvas, arrange them in rows and columns, spread them across several steps. Required fields are checked per step. Anyone who forgets something finds out right away, not after submitting.
Inbox
Submissions with a processing status and a note, free-text search, uploaded attachments, and the completed PDF to download. For spreadsheets, there's a CSV export.
Read forms, change forms, read submissions, PDF templates, publish, read the plan, change the plan. "Read submissions" is deliberately not part of "read forms": a submission contains text other people wrote. Whoever reads it should not be allowed to change things in the same breath.
Putting a page on the open internet has consequences: legal disclosure duties, and an address that stays in circulation afterwards. Without a mandate the agent gets a confirmation link for it, nothing more. With one it first asks you for the address and the visibility and waits for your yes. Taking a page offline is always allowed — limiting damage should never fail.
Every granted access and every mandate is listed in your account. Take one back and it applies the same moment, not when some token happens to expire.
A form built from a PDF cannot be changed by an agent: its fields are wired to the boxes of the original document, and rebuilding it would break that wiring. It gets a refusal with a reason.
It works with a flat description of steps and fields, not with the internal configuration. If your form contains something that description cannot express, the write is refused — instead of quietly dropping it on the next change.
The connection is made over OAuth: you confirm yourself which client gets which permissions. An API key is not accepted here — a key ends up in someone else's backups, a granted access does not.
An agent can move your plan within your mandate, but it cannot take out a subscription: you enter payment details with the payment provider, and the statutory declaration in the order step is not one a machine can make for you. Cancelling it cannot do at all — there is no tool for it.
Model Context Protocol. An interface an AI client uses to reach tools from other providers — roughly what the studio is for a person, but for an agent.
Any client that speaks MCP over HTTP, for example ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor. You enter the server address and the client walks you through signing in.
On the tier without an account it is not stored. It lives in memory for the length of one request; what comes back is the number of fields, the number of pages and the field types. Only with an account is a template kept — because then there is someone responsible for it.
Once you switch the access on and grant a client the "read submissions" permission: yes, to that client's provider. That is why the switch is off by default, why this permission is separate from the others, and why you can take it back at any time.
Only if you grant it a purchase mandate, and only within its limits: highest plan, monthly cap, running for at most a year. Before every change it tells you the price and waits for your consent; afterwards you get an email. It cannot take out a subscription.
No. It is included from the Starter plan onwards.
The first tier needs no account: an agent can check a PDF and draft a form before you sign up.
