project_import

MCP tool from Ai by formio

Import a template JSON — additively merges roles, resources, forms, and actions in one call. Same-machine-name items are overwritten in place; everything else is preserved.

How to use it

Project documentation lists project_import for the Ai MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
