**Install:** `uvx mcp-coda` | [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/mcp-coda/) | [MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io) | [Changelog](https://github.com/vish288/mcp-coda/releases)

**mcp-coda** is a [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for the [Coda API](https://coda.io/developers/apis/v1) — **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.

Built with [FastMCP](https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp), [httpx](https://www.python-httpx.org/), and [Pydantic](https://docs.pydantic.dev/).

<summary><b>Manual Setup Guides (Click to expand)</b></summary>
<br/>

> Prerequisite: Install `uv` first (required for all `uvx` install flows). [Install uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add coda -- uvx mcp-coda
```

### Windsurf & IntelliJ

**Windsurf:** Add to `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`
**IntelliJ:** Add to `Settings | Tools | MCP Servers`

> **Note:** The actual server config starts at `coda` inside the `mcpServers` object.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coda": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-coda"],
      "env": {
        "CODA_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add -e CODA_API_TOKEN=your-token-here coda uvx mcp-coda
```

### pip / uv

```bash
uv pip install mcp-coda
```

</details>

## Configuration

| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `CODA_API_TOKEN` | **Yes** | - | Coda API token ([get one here](https://coda.io/account#apiSettings)) |
| `CODA_READ_ONLY` | No | `false` | Set to `true` to disable write operations |
| `CODA_BASE_URL` | No | `https://coda.io/apis/v1` | API base URL |
| `CODA_TIMEOUT` | No | `30` | Request timeout in seconds |
| `CODA_SSL_VERIFY` | No | `true` | Set to `false` to skip SSL verification |

### Supported Token Types

The server checks these environment variables in order — first match wins:

1. `CODA_API_TOKEN`
2. `CODA_TOKEN`
3. `CODA_PAT`

Tokens are generated at [coda.io/account#apiSettings](https://coda.io/account#apiSettings). Tokens grant access to all docs accessible by the token owner. There are no scope restrictions — access is controlled at the doc level via Coda's sharing settings.

## Compatibility

## Usage Examples

### Docs & Pages

```
"List all my Coda docs"
→ coda_list_docs(is_owner=True)

"Get the content of page 'Sprint Planning' in doc d1"
→ coda_list_pages(doc_id="d1") → find page ID
→ coda_get_page_content(doc_id="d1", page_id_or_name="canvas-abc")

"Create a new doc from a template"
→ coda_create_doc(title="Q1 Planning", source_doc="template-doc-id")
```

### Tables & Rows

```
"List all tables in doc d1"
→ coda_list_tables(doc_id="d1")

"Find rows where Status is 'Done'"
→ coda_list_rows(doc_id="d1", table_id_or_name="Tasks", query="Done")

"Insert a new row into the Tasks table"
→ coda_insert_rows(doc_id="d1", table_id_or_name="Tasks", rows=[{"cells": [{"column": "Name", "value": "New task"}]}])

"Update a row's status"
→ coda_update_row(doc_id="d1", table_id_or_name="Tasks", row_id_or_name="i-abc", row={"cells": [{"column": "Status", "value": "In Progress"}]})
```

### Formulas & Controls

```
"Get the value of the TotalBudget formula"
→ coda_get_formula(doc_id="d1", formula_id_or_name="TotalBudget")

"Check the current value of the DateFilter control"
→ coda_get_control(doc_id="d1", control_id_or_name="DateFilter")
```

### Permissions & Sharing

```
"Share a doc with a teammate"
→ coda_add_permission(doc_id="d1", access="write", principal={"type": "email", "email": "alice@example.com"})

"List who has access to a doc"
→ coda_list_permissions(doc_id="d1")
```

## Security Considerations

- **Token scope**: Coda API tokens grant access to all docs the token owner can access. Use a dedicated service account for production deployments to limit exposure.
- **Read-only mode**: Set `CODA_READ_ONLY=true` to disable all write operations (create, update, delete). Read-only mode is enforced server-side before any API call.
- **MCP tool annotations**: Each tool declares `readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint`, and `idempotentHint` for client-side permission prompts.
- **SSL verification**: `CODA_SSL_VERIFY=true` by default. Only disable for development against local proxies.
- **No credential storage**: The server does not persist tokens. Credentials are read from environment variables at startup.

## Rate Limits & Permissions

### Rate Limits

Coda enforces per-token rate limits (varies by plan). When rate-limited, tools return a 429 error with `retry_after` seconds. Use `coda_rate_limit_budget` to check remaining budget before batch operations. Paginated endpoints default to 25 results per page; use `limit` to adjust.

### Async Mutations

Write operations (insert, update, delete rows) are processed asynchronously. Tools return a `requestId` that can be checked with `coda_get_mutation_status` to confirm completion.

### Required Permissions

| Operation | Minimum Coda Doc Role |
|-----------|----------------------|
| List docs, read pages, tables, rows, formulas, controls | Viewer |
| Read permissions, analytics | Viewer (doc owner for analytics) |
| Create/update pages, insert/update/delete rows | Editor |
| Create/delete docs, manage folders | Editor (or doc owner) |
| Add/remove permissions, publish/unpublish | Doc Owner |
| Trigger automations | Editor |

### Access Control

| Layer | Mechanism |
|-------|-----------|
| Server-level | `CODA_READ_ONLY=true` blocks all write tools |
| MCP annotations | `readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint`, `idempotentHint` for client-side prompts |
| Coda token | Doc-level access enforced by Coda's sharing settings |

## CLI & Transport Options

```bash
# Default: stdio transport (for MCP clients)
uvx mcp-coda

# HTTP transport (SSE or streamable-http)
uvx mcp-coda --transport sse --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
uvx mcp-coda --transport streamable-http --port 9000

# CLI overrides for config
uvx mcp-coda --coda-token your-token --read-only
```

The server loads `.env` files from the working directory automatically via `python-dotenv`.
