Send contracts for e-signature from a template, manage signers, edit contract and template content, and track the signing lifecycle on eSignatures.com.
eSignatures ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 24 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.
io.w6w.esignatureseSignatures.com sends legally binding contracts for signature from a template. A workflow can create and send a contract in one call, fill its placeholder fields, add, correct or re-notify signers, edit the contract text before it is signed, withdraw it, and manage the reusable templates and their collaborators. Webhook delivery of signing events is configured in the eSignatures.com dashboard, not through this app.
Three routes to the same 24 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from eSignatures's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.
collaborator-add Add a collaborator who can edit a template; returns their editor URL.
collaborator-remove Revoke a collaborator's permission to edit a template.
contract-content-update Apply find-and-replace markdown edits to an unsigned contract and return the updated markdown.
contract-create Create a contract from a template and send it to its signers for signature.
contract-get Fetch a contract: status, signers, signer field values and the signed PDF URL. Do not poll; use webhooks for status changes.
contract-pdf-preview Queue a PDF preview of the contract. The URL is delivered asynchronously by a contract-pdf-generated webhook, not in this response.
contract-placeholders-get List the placeholder field values currently assigned to a contract.
contract-placeholders-update Set placeholder field values on an unsigned contract.
contract-withdraw Withdraw a contract so it can no longer be signed. A signed contract cannot be withdrawn; the contract stays queryable.
template-content-update Apply find-and-replace markdown edits to a template and return the updated markdown.
template-duplicate Duplicate a template under a new title, optionally customising its placeholders.
A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the
connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the
workflow spec, carrying eSignatures's real ids.

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An
app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the
address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account,
so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for eSignatures, then fill in
the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the
parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed
from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but
nothing in it is specific to eSignatures. The Workflow tab is where this app's
real ids are.

One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.
One tool call{
"name": "w6w_invoke",
"arguments": {
"ref": "app:io.w6w.esignatures#collaborator-add",
"input": {
"templateId": "<templateId>"
}
}
}
Every tool names its target with a single ref. The
app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the
host resolves which of the caller's eSignatures connections to sign
with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.
The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.
Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.
Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.
eSignatures's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.
The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. eSignatures itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).
eSignatures declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
Unsigned GET https://esignatures.com/api/templates. A 403 carrying eSignatures' own `{"status":"error","data":{"error_code":"forbidden"}}` body passes: it proves the API and its auth layer are answering. Credential validity is the derived `auth:*` check's job.
