FAQ
Fair questions.
How fast can we be live?
About five minutes. No installs, no code.
Can we import our old forum or help docs?
Not yet. There is no importer today. Most teams start fresh and let new questions build the archive.
Can it run on our own domain?
Yes. Your forum lives on your domain, not ours.
Do our customers need accounts?
Not to read or search. Signing in is only for posting.
Can we connect it to our own tools or AI agents?
Yes, on every plan. Everything the dashboard does is a REST API call and an MCP tool, so Claude, ChatGPT, or your own agents can read and answer for you.
What if we ever want to leave?
Your content is yours. Everything is readable through the REST API on every plan, so you can pull it out any time.
Simple on purpose
Simple on purpose.
We tried a lot of forum tools. They did so much that they felt like work.
We wanted something calm and simple. So we built it.
No plugins. No settings maze. No long setup.
You get a forum. Your customers get answers. That is the whole product.
A note from us
We built Forumcat because we were tired of answering the same question twice.
We are a small team. We do not have big logos to show off yet.
We just built the simplest forum we could, and we care a lot about keeping it that way.
Try it. Tell us what you think. We read everything.
Never type the same answer twice.
Your forum can be live in five minutes. Nothing to install. Nothing to run.
