# Askery

> Askery is a programmable form platform. Forms author themselves from a sentence,
> respondents get personalised AI results the moment they submit, and the entire
> product surface is operable from any MCP-capable AI agent. Free forever, no card.

## What makes Askery different from a generic form builder

- **Connectors** — a form question can call your APIs mid-response (populate options
  from your CRM, look up a record, route on a live signal) before the respondent
  hits submit. Templated requests, workspace-secret references, HMAC-signed.
- **MCP server** — `npx -y @askeryforms/mcp` exposes 42 typed tools (create/edit/publish
  forms, restyle branding + layout, fetch responses, manage webhooks, list
  workspace secrets) over stdio, plus a remote OAuth server at
  https://askery.app/api/mcp for ChatGPT / Claude.ai connectors. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor,
  VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, Zed, Goose, JetBrains AI, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI.
- **Public REST API** — 44 endpoints under `/api/v1`, scoped Bearer keys, OpenAPI 3.1
  spec at `/api/v1/openapi.json`. Full read+write+AI parity with the dashboard.
- **Form Intelligence** — every submission renders a personalised result page.
  Two engines: Smart Rules (an LLM evaluates plain-language criteria) or Decision
  Engine (AI-generated code in a server-side QuickJS sandbox; deterministic, replayable).
- **Result page block system** — 15 block types, 14 templates, fully owner-defined
  and AI-editable. Not a fixed "thank you" screen.
- **Workspace secrets vault** — AES-GCM encrypted org-wide secrets referenced inside
  connector templates as `{{secret.STRIPE_KEY}}`. Plaintext is never returned by the API.
- **Form versioning** — every save is a version with a rich diff line per change,
  one-click restore.
- **Import from any URL** — paste a Google Forms / Typeform / Tally link and Askery
  rebuilds it as a fully editable Askery form. Free, no API keys required.

## How to operate Askery from an AI agent (the short version)

1. Mint an API key at https://askery.app/dashboard/api-keys (scopes you need:
   forms:read, forms:write, responses:read, ai:run; add webhooks:write +
   secrets:write if you'll manage those too).
2. Install the MCP server in your agent — see https://askery.app/mcp/setup for
   per-agent config. The same JSON snippet works in Claude Desktop, Cursor,
   VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, JetBrains AI, Zed, and Gemini CLI; Goose, Continue,
   Codex CLI have small shape differences spelled out on that page.
3. The env var is always `ASKERY_API_KEY=ak_live_...`. One key, every agent.

## Pricing posture

- Free plan ships the load-bearing features (unlimited forms, unlimited submissions,
  Form Intelligence, connectors, public API, MCP server). No paywall on the moat.
- AI actions draw from a 20-token signup bonus on Free; paid plans add monthly
  token refills.
- No vendor lock-in. CSV/JSON export anytime; one canonical schema underneath.
