What CommCare permissions does the connected account need?

They differ per action. Create Lookup Table requires Edit Apps, and Create Web User Invitation requires both Edit Web Users and Edit Access API. An account without those permissions can still submit forms and list reports, so it is worth granting only what the workflows you enable actually use.

Can Lyro read or update case records in CommCare?

Not with this toolkit. It exposes form submission, lookup table creation, report discovery, user invitation, and sign-on validation, but no action that reads or edits an existing case, so case-level lookups and updates stay in CommCare or its case APIs.

What does a form submission have to include?

Complete XForm XML with the OpenRosa metadata fields: deviceID, timeStart, timeEnd, username, userID, and a unique instanceID. The instanceID is what makes a resubmission identifiable, so it has to be generated per submission rather than reused.

What is the Single Sign On action for if Lyro is not the login screen?

It validates a user's credentials and returns their profile, including roles, permissions, locations, and configuration. That makes it the check before a sensitive step: confirm the person asking holds the role for it, rather than assuming from the conversation.

CommCare MCP integration

Submits XForms through the OpenRosa or ODK endpoint, creates lookup tables, lists a project's reports, and invites web users with a role.

Three actions you can hand over today

Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.

Single sign on
Lyro authenticates mobile workers and web users against CommCare credentials, enabling secure access without separate login flows. Users skip an extra password prompt and get to help faster.
Submit form to commcare
Lyro submits completed survey or intake forms to CommCare as OpenRosa-compatible XForms within a conversation. Field staff capture data in one place instead of transcribing responses later.
Create web user invitation
Lyro generates invitations for new CommCare team members and sends access during onboarding conversations. New staff start work immediately rather than waiting for manual account provisioning.

How businesses use CommCare + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the CommCare actions Lyro runs to close it.

Submit a completed form into the project
Lyro posts XForm data to a CommCare domain through the OpenRosa endpoint, or the ODK-compatible one when the payload comes from an Android client, so a submission gathered elsewhere lands in the same project as field data.

Set up the reference data a project depends on
Lyro creates a lookup table for a product catalogue, a price list, or a configuration set, and lists the reports already configured in the domain so nobody rebuilds one that exists.

Bring a new user in and confirm what they may do
Lyro creates a web user invitation with a specific role and permissions, and validates a mobile worker or web user's credentials to return their roles, permissions, and assigned locations.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the CommCare actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

01
Connect CommCare
Authorize the CommCare account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
02
Tell your agent what you need
Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the CommCare actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.
03
Watch it work
The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.
