## Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Googleforms MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio?
Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:
- CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

## Connect Googleforms to Codex

### How to install Googleforms MCP in Codex
### Run the setup command
Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.

```bash
codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

## What is the Googleforms MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Googleforms MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Googleforms account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Googleforms operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `GOOGLEFORMS_BATCH_UPDATE_FORM` | Batch Update Form | Applies a batch of update operations to a Google Form in a single atomic transaction. Use when you need to modify form content after creation, including: - Adding, updating, or deleting questions and other items - Modifying form metadata (title, description) - Updating form settings (quiz mode, email collection) - Reorganizing item order within the form All updates in the batch are applied together atomically. If any update fails, the entire batch is rolled back. Use writeControl for optimistic concurrency to ensure updates are applied to the expected form version. Note: The form must have the appropriate sharing settings for the authenticated user to modify it. |
| `GOOGLEFORMS_CREATE_FORM` | Create a Google Form | Creates a new Google Form with the specified title. This action initializes an empty form that can be later populated with items (questions, sections, images, videos) using the batchUpdate endpoint. When a form is created, it is assigned a unique formId that is required for all subsequent operations on that form. As of June 30, 2026, forms created via API will default to an unpublished state, giving creators control over responder access before making the form publicly available. Use this action when you need to create a new form for collecting information, surveys, quizzes, or feedback. After creation, use the batchUpdate action to add questions and other items to the form. |
| `GOOGLEFORMS_CREATE_WATCH` | Create Form Watch | Creates a watch on a Google Form to receive push notifications via Cloud Pub/Sub when specified events occur. Watches notify via Cloud Pub/Sub when the form or its responses are changed. Each watch has a one-week duration after which it automatically expires and must be renewed. The calling project can have a maximum of 2 watches per form (one for SCHEMA and one for RESPONSES). Use this action when you need to set up real-time notifications for form changes or new submissions. The Pub/Sub topic must be in the same project where the form is located, and the topic must have permissions configured to allow the Forms API to publish messages. |
| `GOOGLEFORMS_DELETE_WATCH` | Delete Form Watch | Deletes a watch from a Google Form, stopping push notifications for that watch. Use when you no longer want to receive notifications for a specific watch on a form. This action is irreversible — once deleted, the watch cannot be recovered and notifications will stop immediately. If you need to resume notifications, you must create a new watch using the CreateWatch action. |
| `GOOGLEFORMS_GET_FORM` | Get Google Form | Retrieves the complete structure and metadata of a Google Form. Returns the full form definition including its title, description, all items (questions, sections, page breaks, images, videos, and display text), form settings (quiz mode, email collection), publishing state, and output-only fields such as the responder submission URL and revision ID. This action is read-only and does not modify the form. Use this action when you need to read the current configuration of a form, display its structure to users, inspect its settings, or check its publishing state before making updates. |
| `GOOGLEFORMS_GET_RESPONSE` | Get form response | Retrieves a single form response by its unique response ID. Returns complete response data including all answers provided by the respondent, their email (if collected), timestamps, and quiz scores (if applicable). Use this action when you need to fetch detailed information about a specific submission, such as viewing individual submissions, verifying response data, or building response detail views. |
| `GOOGLEFORMS_LIST_RESPONSES` | List Google Form Responses | Lists all responses submitted to a Google Form with optional filtering and pagination. Use this action to retrieve multiple form submissions at once, export response data, or monitor new submissions. Supports filtering by timestamp to fetch only responses submitted after a specific time, which is useful for incremental data synchronization. |
| `GOOGLEFORMS_LIST_WATCHES` | List Form Watches | Lists all watches owned by the calling project for a specific Google Form. Use this action to discover existing watches, check their status and expiration times, or audit which notifications are configured for a form. Each project can have a maximum of 2 watches per form (one for each event type: SCHEMA and RESPONSES). The SCHEMA event type monitors changes to form content or settings, while RESPONSES monitors new form submissions. |
| `GOOGLEFORMS_RENEW_WATCH` | Renew Form Watch | Renews a watch on a Google Form, extending its expiration by one week from the time of renewal. Google Forms watches automatically expire after one week. Use this action to extend a watch before it expires, maintaining continuous push notifications. If a watch has already expired, you must create a new one instead. The renewed watch keeps the same ID, event type, and Pub/Sub topic configuration. Only the expiration time is updated. |
| `GOOGLEFORMS_SET_PUBLISH_SETTINGS` | Set Form Publish Settings | Updates the publishing settings of a Google Form, controlling whether the form is published (visible to others) and whether it accepts responses. Use this action to publish a draft form, unpublish a form to prevent access, or toggle response collection on/off without changing the form's visibility. Note that legacy forms created before the publish settings feature was introduced cannot use this endpoint and will return an error. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Googleforms MCP?

With a standalone Googleforms MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Googleforms tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Googleforms and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Codex?

Yes, you can. Codex fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Googleforms tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Googleforms while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Googleforms scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Googleforms data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
