Documentation Overview

coda-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Coda.io API. Enables AI assistants to read and write Coda documents, tables, and rows.

Features

Full CRUD operations on Coda tables
Document and page content retrieval
Formula and control access
Async export workflow for canvas pages
Rate limit handling

Quick Start

1. Install

bash

cargo install coda-mcp

2. Get API Token

Get your token from coda.io/account → API settings.

3. Configure Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json (Linux):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coda": {
      "command": "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.cargo/bin/coda-mcp",
      "env": {
        "CODA_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Restart Claude Desktop

The Coda tools will now be available.

Installation

From crates.io (Recommended)

bash

cargo install coda-mcp

From Source

bash

git clone https://github.com/nkpar/coda-mcp.git
cd coda-mcp
cargo build --release

Binary will be at ./target/release/coda-mcp

Pre-built Binaries

Check the Releases page.

Docker

No Rust toolchain required. Multi-arch image (amd64 + arm64), ~3MB.

Terminal

docker pull ghcr.io/nkpar/coda-mcp:latest

Claude Code (CLI):

Terminal

claude mcp add coda -e CODA_API_TOKEN=your_token_here -- docker run --rm -i -e CODA_API_TOKEN ghcr.io/nkpar/coda-mcp:latest

Claude Desktop config:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coda": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "--rm", "-i", "-e", "CODA_API_TOKEN", "ghcr.io/nkpar/coda-mcp:latest"],
      "env": {
        "CODA_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

One-Click Install Script

For Claude Desktop with automatic configuration:

bash

git clone https://github.com/nkpar/coda-mcp.git
cd coda-mcp
./scripts/install.sh

Configuration

1. Get API Token

Get your Coda API token from coda.io/account → API settings.

Important: For write operations (create_doc, delete_doc, add_row, update_row, delete_row), ensure your token has write permissions enabled. Read-only tokens will return 403 Forbidden for these operations.

2. Configure MCP Client

Claude Desktop (~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coda": {
      "command": "/path/to/coda-mcp",
      "env": {
        "CODA_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code (CLI):

bash

# Binary
claude mcp add coda -e CODA_API_TOKEN=your_token_here -- $HOME/.cargo/bin/coda-mcp

# Or via Docker (no Rust required)
claude mcp add coda -e CODA_API_TOKEN=your_token_here -- docker run --rm -i -e CODA_API_TOKEN ghcr.io/nkpar/coda-mcp:latest

Or via .mcp.json in project root:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coda": {
      "command": "/path/to/coda-mcp",
      "env": {
        "CODA_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here"

Request limits capped at 1000 to prevent resource exhaustion
Install script uses silent input for tokens and sets restrictive file permissions (600)

Development

server.ts

# Build
cargo build --release

# Run unit & integration tests
cargo test

# Run E2E tests (requires write-enabled API token)
export $(cat .env | xargs) && cargo test --test e2e_tests -- --ignored
