Can an AI assistant send a contract for signing with Swedish BankID?

Yes. With Formify, you ask your assistant to require BankID and the signer verifies on Formify's signing page. Signers without Swedish BankID can use an ID document scan with a face check instead.

E-signing with MCP: send contracts for signature from ChatGPT, Claude and Manus

Formify has its own MCP server. Connect it to your AI assistant once, then ask it to send a contract, check who has signed or download the signed copy. Signers can verify with Swedish BankID, an ID document scan or face liveness.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets an AI assistant use external services. With the Formify MCP server, your assistant works in your own Formify account with your own permissions. You describe what you want in plain language. The assistant picks the right step.

What you can ask for

"Send the NDA template to anna@example.com for signing with Live ID."

"Upload this PDF and send it to the buyer and the seller."

"Has the contract with Erik been signed yet? If not, send a reminder."

"Merge these two PDFs and send them as one document."

"Revoke the unsigned offer I sent yesterday."

"Download the signed copy of the employment agreement."

Use the server URL above in the tool's MCP settings. If the tool cannot sign in with OAuth, create a Formify API key in app.formify.eu under Settings, Integration, and paste it as a token.

PDF form magic

Turn any PDF field into a ((verified, validated input)) with tink-* attributes.

Formify reads your PDF form field names. Add pipe-separated tink-* attributes and ordinary text fields become BankID-verified identity, SMS OTP codes, ID scans, auto-populated company data, and more.

How signers prove who they are

An identity verification using an ID document and a biometric selfie, alternatively a drawn signature without identity check. Invitations go out by email, SMS or WhatsApp.

Legal level

Signatures with identity verification are Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) under the EU eIDAS regulation. Simple signatures are SES. Every signed PDF is sealed with a qualified certificate from a provider on the EU Trusted List.

Price options

Free: 10 credits per month. Top-up: from 10 EUR for 20 credits. Seat: 25 EUR per month with 100 credits. A simple signature uses 2 credits, a signature with identity verification 8. The MCP connection has no separate fee.
