Documents & Forms

What the CommCare connector can do

CommCare supports field data collection and case management for health and social programs, syncing mobile form submissions with reporting and messaging tools. A type.com Space can ask Claude to set up a reference lookup table, invite a new web user, or check which reports exist in a project before building a new one.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect CommCare once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting CommCare

Can Claude manage CommCare data from type.com?

Yes. With a CommCare connection shared to your Space, Claude can create lookup tables, invite users, list reports, and submit forms directly in a thread.

How does type.com authenticate with CommCare?

CommCare uses an API key you add once to the connection, managed by an admin who controls which Spaces can use it.

Can CommCare reporting checks run on a schedule?

Yes. Set up a type.com automation to list available reports or check form submissions on a recurring basis.

Is this the same as a CommCare MCP server?

Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
