Contact forms for Nuxt
Add a contact form to your Nuxt 3 app with no server route and no backend of your own. It is a Vue component that posts to Formpaste, so there is no server/api handler to write. Preview it live, copy the code, and submissions land in your inbox - spam filtered.
How to create a Nuxt form
- 1
Create a form in your Formpaste dashboard and copy its access key.
- 2
Copy the Vue component above into a Nuxt page or component.
- 3
Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE with your access key, then deploy.

Add a Formpaste contact form to my Nuxt 3 app. Use a Vue component with <script setup>, v-model, and an @submit.prevent handler that POSTs as application/x-www-form-urlencoded (URLSearchParams) to https://api.formpaste.com/submit with a hidden access_key input. Do not add a server/api route.Or connect the Formpaste MCP server to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, or any mcp-remote client. See the setup guide.
No server route needed
Nuxt gives you a server/api/ directory, but a contact form does not need it. The
form is a Vue component with @submit.prevent that posts straight to the Formpaste
endpoint, so there is no Nitro handler to write and nothing server-side of yours to
maintain. It works with SSR or a fully static nuxi generate build.
It is just a Vue component
Nuxt is Vue, so the form is a single-file component with v-model and a submit
handler - the same code you would use in a plain Vue app. Copy the Vue version
from the toggle above and drop it into a page or component.
Pinia only if you want it
For a single-page form, local component state is all you need. If you build a multi-step form that spans routes, a Pinia store can hold the step state - but the final step still posts once to Formpaste either way.
How it works
Three simple steps for form submissions to land in your email inbox.
Create your form, set your form's action URL to Formpaste's endpoint, and add your access key.
Create your form
Sign up, verify your email, and create an access key in your dashboard.
Copy the code
Paste the snippet above into your project. Pick CSS or Tailwind to match your site.
<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from "vue";
const status = ref<"idle" | "sending" | "ok" | "error">("idle");
async function onSubmit(e: Event) {
status.value = "sending";
const form = new FormData(e.target as HTMLFormElement);
const res = await fetch("https://api.formpaste.com/submit", { method: "POST", body: new URLSearchParams(form as any) });
status.value = res.ok ? "ok" : "error";
}
</script>
<template>
<p v-if="status === 'ok'">Thanks - your message was sent.</p>
