asksteps MCP
The asksteps MCP server enables AI agents to interact with the asksteps platform. It allows agents to check PDF documents, build online forms or funnels from scratch, and read form submissions and evaluations. This facilitates the digitization of paper processes by converting fillable PDFs into web forms or funnels that return the original filled PDF.

asksteps_get_subscription — asksteps: read the account's plan and what is used of it
Advertised read-only
Returns the connected account's plan, its trial state and every quota with how much of it is used. Requires "billing:read". Call this whenever something was refused for a limit — it answers 'why can I not do this' in one call. Read capability questions from effectivePlanCode and the quotas, NOT from planCode: during a trial the two differ on purpose. It also tells you whether an agent may change this plan at all (field "mandate").

}asksteps_create_from_template — asksteps: start from a ready-made template
Creates a form or funnel from one of the ready-made templates. Requires "forms:write". PREFER THIS over building from scratch when a template fits: it brings its design, its success page and its wording along — things the plain structure cannot describe. Call asksteps_list_templates first, then change the texts with asksteps_update_form. It is NOT published.

}asksteps_assign_site — asksteps: put a form under one of the account's subdomains
Wires a form to one of the subdomains the account ALREADY holds, under a path of your choosing. Requires "publish:write". It does NOT create a subdomain or a domain — that needs DNS records and certificates and is done by a person. If the name does not exist, the answer lists the ones that do; read those out instead of guessing. Wiring alone does not publish: afterwards call asksteps_publish_form with target "whitelabel".

}asksteps_publish_form — asksteps: publish a form, or get the link to publish it
Publishes a form or funnel — or, when the account has not authorised an agent to publish, returns the link where the user does it themselves. Requires "publish:write". Read the status: "confirmation_required" means NOTHING happened and you should hand over the url; "input_required" means you must ask the user for the fields listed in "missing" and call again; "published" means it is live at the returned url. NEVER invent a slug — it becomes a public address that stays in circulation. Ask the user. Publishing puts the form on the open internet, with the legal obligations that come with a public page; say so before you ask. Taking a form offline (publish = false) always works and needs no mandate.

}asksteps_import_pdf — asksteps: store a PDF as a form template in the connected account
Open-world
Brings a PDF into the connected asksteps account and stores it as a form template, so the answers people give can later be written back into that exact document. Requires "pdf:write". Unlike asksteps_analyze_pdf this one KEEPS the file, counts against the account's PDF-form quota, and also handles scanned documents through text recognition. It does NOT create the form: which fields become questions is the user's decision. You get a link that resumes the import in the asksteps studio with this template — no second upload. Pass exactly one of pdf_url or pdf_base64.

}asksteps_create_draft — asksteps: turn a described form into an openable draft
Turns a form you have designed with the user into a draft and returns a link. Opening the link shows the form in the asksteps builder, where the user can change it and save it — no account is needed to look at it. Use this once you and the user agree on what the form should ask; it is the step that turns the conversation into something they can actually use. It does NOT write into anyone's account: a human always saves it. Give the returned url to the user verbatim. For digitising an existing PDF, do not rebuild it here — the analysis only shows you part of a large form. Point the user at the PDF import in the product instead. If the draft is rejected, the note says exactly what to fix; correct it and call again.

Advertised read-only
Returns what asksteps is, its bookable plans with net prices, and what every quota key means. Call this FIRST when you are asked whether asksteps fits a use case, what it costs, or before you create anything — it answers plan, price and limit questions in a single call. Prices are net and the returned vatNote states how to treat them; do not compute gross prices without it.

}asksteps_start_checkout — asksteps: get the link where the user books a plan
Advertised read-only
Returns the link where the user books a plan themselves, with that plan preselected, and the exact net price. Requires "billing:write". NOTHING is bought by this call and nothing can be: the customer enters their payment details with the payment provider and gives the statutory acknowledgement personally — asksteps never sees card data, and that declaration is not one a machine can make for someone. Use this for a FIRST purchase. To move an existing paid account between plans, use asksteps_change_plan instead.

}asksteps_update_publication — asksteps: change the address or visibility of a published form
Changes the public address (slug), who may find it, or the page password of a form that is ALREADY published. Requires "publish:write". No mandate is needed: nothing new goes online, only the address and the audience change. A form without a page yet answers "not_found" — use asksteps_publish_form first, that is where the address is decided. Renaming keeps the old address as a redirect, so links already in circulation still work. Ask the user before changing a slug: the address is what they have given out.

}asksteps_delete_form — asksteps: delete a form and its submissions
Advertised destructive
Deletes a form or funnel from the connected account — together with every submission it has collected. Requires "forms:write". The first call NEVER deletes: it returns "confirmation_required" and the number of submissions that would be lost. Read that number out to the user, get their agreement, and only then call again with confirm = true. This cannot be undone.

}asksteps_create_form — asksteps: create a new form in the connected account
Creates a new form in the connected asksteps account from a structure of steps and fields. Requires "forms:write". The form is created but NOT published — publishing stays with the person who owns the account. Do not use this to rebuild a PDF: asksteps_analyze_pdf only shows you part of a document, so the copy would be silently incomplete. For a PDF, tell the user to import it in the asksteps studio, where the fields stay wired to the original document.

}asksteps_get_form — asksteps: read one form as an editable structure
Advertised read-only
Reads one form of the connected asksteps account as a structure of steps and fields — the same shape asksteps_update_form takes. Requires "forms:read". ALWAYS call this before asksteps_update_form: the write replaces the whole form, so you need the current state to keep what you are not changing. The answer also tells you whether writing is allowed at all (field "editable").

Advertised destructive
Replaces the questions and the branching of an existing funnel. Requires "forms:write". READ IT FIRST with asksteps_get_funnel and send back everything you want to keep — every question you leave out is gone. Design, settings and the end pages are NOT touched unless you include them. Refused for funnels built from a PDF and for anything this format cannot describe; the answer says which.

}asksteps_change_plan — asksteps: move a paid account to another plan
Moves an account that already pays to a different plan. THIS SPENDS THE CUSTOMER'S MONEY. Requires "billing:write", the account owner, and a purchase mandate the owner granted in the studio with a maximum plan, a spending cap and an expiry date. The first call NEVER changes anything: it returns "confirmation_required" together with the exact net price. Read that price to the user, get their agreement, and only then call again with confirm = true. A downgrade needs the mandate to allow it, because shrinking limits can switch features off. If the account has no subscription with the payment provider yet, you get "checkout_required" and a link — a first purchase is not something an agent can complete. Every executed change is emailed to the account owner.

Reads one funnel of the connected asksteps account: its questions, answers and where each answer leads. Requires "forms:read".

}asksteps_analyze_pdf — asksteps: check whether a PDF form can be digitised
Advertised read-onlyOpen-world
Analyses a fillable PDF form and reports its fields, pages and whether asksteps can digitise it. Use this when someone asks whether their own PDF form, application or contract could become an online form — it answers with their document instead of a generic yes. Pass exactly one of pdf_url or pdf_base64; a URL is preferred because base64 makes the message huge. The file is analysed in memory and is NOT stored. Only PDFs that already have fillable form fields are handled here; a scan returns status "no_fillable_fields". Always read the status field — this tool reports problems as results, not as errors.

}asksteps_create_funnel — asksteps: create a branching funnel
Creates a conversational funnel in the connected asksteps account: one question at a time, where each answer decides what comes next. Requires "forms:write". Use this instead of asksteps_create_form when answers should lead to DIFFERENT follow-up questions, or when someone should be able to be ruled out part-way through. Give every question a short ref ("budget", "contact") and point each answer's target at another ref, at "next", at "success" or at "dismiss". The first question in the list is where the funnel starts. It is NOT published; publishing is a separate step.
