Get Form Shortcode is a WordPress ability from SureForms — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get Form Shortcode
Read-onlyGet the shortcode and Gutenberg block markup needed to embed a SureForms form.
Requires the SureForms plugin on WordPress 6.9+ (the Abilities API is gated behind function_exists('wp_register_ability'), so it degrades gracefully on WP 6.4-6.8). Abilities only register when the 'srfm_abilities_api' option is enabled in SureForms' AI settings, and every ability requires the current user to have the 'manage_options' capability. Abilities that create or modify data additionally require the 'srfm_abilities_api_edit' option to not be explicitly disabled; abilities that permanently delete data additionally require 'srfm_abilities_api_delete' to not be explicitly disabled.
What it does
This is a small, focused ability that returns just the two ways a SureForms form can be embedded: the classic shortcode ([sureforms id="N"]) and the raw Gutenberg block comment markup. It first validates that the form ID corresponds to an existing SureForms form. It's useful when an AI assistant needs to hand a user (or another tool) the embed code for a page or post without pulling the form's full field structure.
