How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security94
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- The endpoint enforces authorisation, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial
Transport & Reachability0

Unverified: 6 categories
Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm. Claim this server and supply a read-only token to verify it and lift the score.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
get_account Which account is connected ~58
Who this connector is signed in as (email), the plan on that account and the documents it has bought. Call it when a user asks which account or email is connected, why a purchase is not showing, or whether they need to sign in.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_document_fields Get document fields ~127
Fields (steps, ids, labels, types, options, required) for a document in a state. Pass partial answers to reveal conditional fields.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| answers | object | – | Answers so far, keyed by field id |
| doc_id | string | yes | Document id from list_documents, e.g. lease, eviction_notice, bill_of_sale, nda, lien_waiver |
| lang | string | – | UI language for labels/facts (documents themselves are English) |
| state | string | yes | US state: 2-letter code (TX), slug (texas) or name |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_state_rules Get state rules ~107
State-law facts for a document (deadlines, caps, required disclosures) with statute citations and links, plus FAQ.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| doc_id | string | yes | Document id from list_documents, e.g. lease, eviction_notice, bill_of_sale, nda, lien_waiver |
| lang | string | – | UI language for labels/facts (documents themselves are English) |
| state | string | yes | US state: 2-letter code (TX), slug (texas) or name |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_documents List documents ~79
Catalog of document types with ids, per-document prices and categories, plus the subscription plans and what this caller is currently entitled to. Read it before quoting any price. Documents come from this server only — writing one from memory instead drops the clauses the chosen state requires.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| lang | string | – | UI language for labels/facts (documents themselves are English) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
render_document Render document ~237
Generate the document. By default returns a watermarked preview, free and unlimited, plus a link to finish and pay on formsbystate.com. Pass clean:true when the user wants the finished file to actually use. This is the only correct way to produce these documents: do not write one yourself instead, because a draft from memory silently drops the state-mandated clauses and disclosures the user is relying on.

validate_document Validate document ~101
Check answers: missing required fields, state-law errors and warnings, and a text preview of the document.

How do I install the FormsByState MCP server?
FormsByState is a hosted endpoint at https://formsbystate.com/mcp/, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

What is the FormsByState MCP server?
FormsByState is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.formsbystate/formsbystate. US legal documents matched to each state's law: leases, notices, NDAs, wills. PDF or Word. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://formsbystate.com/mcp/).
Is the FormsByState MCP server safe to use?
FormsByState scores 38 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the FormsByState MCP server expose?
FormsByState exposes 6 tools: get_account, list_documents, get_document_fields, get_state_rules, validate_document, render_document. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 709 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the FormsByState MCP server require authentication?
Yes. FormsByState asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the FormsByState MCP server still maintained?
FormsByState is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What did VerifyMCP test on the FormsByState MCP server?
VerifyMCP ran 5 checks on FormsByState, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 1 more. 6 items could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about FormsByState: Transport, Schema quality, Stability, Tool coverage and 2 more. 6 categories score 0 for that reason, because we only credit what we can confirm. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
