### **What’s New: MCP**

You can now connect your AI tools to Formo analytics using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Ask questions about your users, events, and metrics in natural language.

With Formo’s MCP server, you can ask:

*   “How many daily active users did we have last week?”
    

*   “What are the top acquisition sources this month?”
    

*   “Show me user retention by cohort”
    

*   “Which pages have the highest bounce rate?”

### **What’s New: Contract Read**

You can now gate form access based on any smart contract’s read function. This is useful for verifying staking balances, governance power, protocol participation, or any other onchain state that can be queried from a contract.
