Coda MCP Server

mcp-coda is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Coda API - 54 tools, 12 resources, and 5 prompts covering docs, pages, tables, rows, formulas, controls, permissions, folders, publishing, automations, and analytics. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, and any MCP-compatible client. Its 40 documented tools cover coda, page, doc, rows.

People connecting automation tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Coda

before you install - you'll need

CODA_API_TOKEN

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add vish288-mcp-coda -- uvx mcp-coda

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vish288-mcp-coda": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-coda"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package mcp-coda - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.vish288 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Coda can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can get current user info, convert browser URL to API IDs, check async write status, and get remaining rate limit budget.

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-22 and it shipped 4 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

What can Coda do?

With this server connected, an agent can get current user info, convert browser URL to API IDs, check async write status, and get remaining rate limit budget.

How do I install Coda?

Run `uvx mcp-coda`. The README documents one environment variable (CODA_API_TOKEN) to set first. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Coda run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
