Jun 3, 2020 at 22:39 comment added LSpice Your Artin–Mazur link pointed to "Is%20this%20sufficient?", which is (probably?) not what you intended. I changed it to Artin and Mazur - Formal groups arising from algebraic varieties, which I hope is correct.

Jun 3, 2020 at 20:57 comment added xir interesting, thank you! but actually it seems he doesn't do what i suggested and instead requires by fiat that there's a zariski-local trivialization; the rest is then a quick descent argument. it remains to figure out exactly what you need to coordinatize a formal group over a local ring
Jun 3, 2020 at 20:22 comment added Eric Peterson I don’t know a better reference than this, and surely there is one, but the argument you describe is recorded as Proposition 7 in Lecture 11 of Lurie’s course notes on chromatic homotopy theory: people.math.harvard.edu/~lurie/252xnotes/Lecture11.pdf .
