formfeedPyPIPython client, sync and async
formfeednpmCLI: templates as files, offline preview and validation, renders through the API
@formfeed/enginenpmThe template engine (Jinja2, Liquid, Handlebars) the API and the editor use
@formfeed/devkitnpmTemplate folders, project config and local rendering
@formfeed/testingnpmVitest and Jest matchers for templates

Every npm package is built and published from this repository by GitHub Actions with provenance, and the Python package with trusted publishing, so each release can be traced to the commit and workflow run it came from.

Development

Node 22 or newer and pnpm (the version in package.json, corepack enable picks it up):

pnpm install
pnpm nx run-many -t lint test --exclude sdk-python   # TypeScript packages
pnpm nx run-many -t bundle smoke                     # build, pack and try every npm package
cd packages/sdk-python && pip install pytest httpx pydantic && python -m pytest -q

This repository is generated from Formfeed's main repository, where the packages are developed together with the API they talk to. See CONTRIBUTING.md for how issues and pull requests are handled.

Licence

MIT, see LICENSE. Bundled third-party code keeps its own licence; the CLI and MCP packages list it in THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md.

Does Formfeed need an API key?

Yes. It expects FORMFEED_API_KEY, Authorization, which you set in its configuration.

Is Formfeed open source?

Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.

Who maintains Formfeed?

It is published by formfeed-dev. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.

From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
