Coda MCP server

Hello, i have been looking for the topic of AI and MCP lately… so is there any offical or unoffical server for MCP for Coda.io or not

not that I am aware of, but indeed it would be great to have.
Those wondering about what is MCP, have a look here (merci @nina)
I am afraid this is not a short term priority for the development team.
cheers, christiaan

I’d also be interested as all of out other collaboration tools now have MCP servers.

I have not yet tried to use it, but another thread I was on mentioned one by Pipedream.

I’m playing with the Pipedream MCP and having some good success. It’s definitely helping me improve my Coda setup already, as a Product Manager. The thing I am missing most though is the ability for it to write to a table / create a new row… I’m still manually having to add the fields/columns myself with Claude listing out what I should add based on my brainstorming and collaborating with it.

Still accelerating me a lot, but not as much as if I could tell it to write the new idea/feature to the table and move on.

Has anyone tried this MCP server? I love that it can read page content. Coda MCP Server | Glama

I can’t get it to work. The Pipedream one works easily, but can’t read pages. :confused:

forked this one and added almost 30 more endpoints / tools. GitHub - dustinrgood/coda-mcp: MCP Server for Coda

Well done sir, exactly what was needed; adding CRUD tools for tables.

And exposing both the server and the code on Github is the highest tradition of open source citizenship!

Much appreciated indeed.

Thanks for making this! Is there a different npm package for your fork? Or do I need to run the server locally to access the additional tools you’ve added to the main repo?

Most tools we work with on a daily basis have provided an MCP server for allowing AI to interact with their tools. I’d strongly recommend Coda to evaluate their development priorities. If Coda doesn’t catch up they risk people moving to alternatives that natively support AI tooling. Workflows are rapidly transitioning to AI-first.

Local for now, when I get more time I’ll work on packaging.

@Dustin_Good2 Got it–thank you! The local server is working great–a huge enhancement over the Pipedream one, thanks for sharing it.

hi @coda-team : when an official MCP server ? it’s a mandatory feature for us. With no visibility, I’m afraid we’ll have to leave Coda…. :pensive_face:

I find it amusing when people threaten to leave Coda because it’s missing one specific feature. Don’t get me wrong – I have my own complaints about Coda, especially the mobile app.

But here’s the thing: if there was genuinely a better platform out there that was worth switching to, I’d move in a heartbeat. No threats – I’d just go.

The reality is that Coda remains the best option on the market. It has incredible features that keep me here, and that’s not going to change anytime soon.

This is great stuff Dustin. Thanks for your efforts. I have just installed it locally inside the windsurf IDE.

Regarding packaging, have you considered just sending a pull request to the original repo?
