listing.about

Connects an AI assistant to your Tally workspace. You can create forms from a plain-language description, edit fields and settings on existing forms, list and search forms, and fetch submissions to summarize, chart or analyze in the conversation.

It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://api.tally.so/mcp. Users sign in with OAuth. As an alternative, an API key can be sent as an Authorization: Bearer header with a key starting with tly-. Tally states the MCP server is free to use on all plans.

listing.can

  • Create forms from a plain-language description
  • Add, remove or update fields and settings on existing forms
  • List and search forms in your workspace
  • Fetch form submissions for analysis inside the conversation
  • Summarize responses or chart rating distributions and trends

listing.tools

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http tally https://api.tally.so/mcp
  1. Start Claude Code, type /mcp, pick tally and choose Authenticate. A browser window opens for the Tally sign-in.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
  2. Name it Tally and paste this URL:
https://api.tally.so/mcp
  1. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in when Tally asks.

Claude Desktop's JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

claude.ai

  1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

Add to claude.ai a11y.new_tab

  1. Check that the URL reads https://api.tally.so/mcp and click Add.
  2. Click Connect and sign in when Tally asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.

ChatGPT

  1. On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click + to create an app for a remote MCP server.
  3. Paste https://api.tally.so/mcp as the server URL and choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to Tally to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

Cursor

Add to Cursor a11y.new_tab

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tally": {
      "url": "https://api.tally.so/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor shows Needs login next to the server. Click it to sign in.

VS Code

Install in VS Code a11y.new_tab

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"tally","type":"http","url":"https://api.tally.so/mcp"}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "tally": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.tally.so/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tally": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.tally.so/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.

Codex

codex mcp add tally --url https://api.tally.so/mcp
codex mcp login tally

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.tally]
url = "https://api.tally.so/mcp"

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http tally https://api.tally.so/mcp

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth tally to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI's settings file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tally": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.tally.so/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://api.tally.so/mcp.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/tally into my MCP client?

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://api.tally.so/mcp, so your client talks to Tally directly. The sign-in token only works there anyway. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

Does Tally need an API key or a sign-in?

Yes, you need a Tally account. The first time your client connects, it opens Tally's sign-in page. The token goes straight to the server's own URL, never through mcp.tc.

Is Tally a remote or a local server?

Remote. Tally hosts it at https://api.tally.so/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.

What can Tally do?

You can create forms from a plain-language description, add, remove or update fields and settings on existing forms and list and search forms in your workspace.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read Tally's own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
