The MCP server authenticates with a key in its URL, runs over SSE only and has no read-only mode. Cloud requests are capped at 10 at a time.\n\n**Coda (Superhuman Docs).** API tokens can be limited to one doc or one table and to read or write, and the OpenAPI description covers 125 operations with 429 on almost all. Writes are queued and answered with 202, so each needs a status check. The REST API has no idempotency keys or official client libraries, and the MCP server is in beta.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Baserow\n\n1. Create a database token with only the tables and operations needed. It can't change tables or fields, which need a JWT from `/api/user/token-auth/`\n2. Send `Authorization: Token YOUR_DATABASE_TOKEN`, and add `user_field_names=true` or rows come back keyed as `field_123`\n3. Use the `/batch/` endpoints for up to 200 rows a call, and keep to 10 requests in flight on Baserow Cloud\n4. Treat the MCP URL as a password. Keep it out of logs and version control, and delete the endpoint to revoke it\n5. Over MCP, call `get_table_schema` before `create_rows` or `update_rows`, and page `list_table_rows` with `page` and `size`\n\n### Coda (Superhuman Docs)\n\n1. Poll `/mutationStatus/{requestId}` after every row write. A 202 means queued, and the edit can still fail\n2. Send `X-Coda-Doc-Version: latest` when a read must reflect recent edits, and handle the 400 it returns when the snapshot is behind\n3. Use `keyColumns` on `POST .../rows` so a retried insert updates the same row instead of adding a duplicate\n4. Ask for a token restricted to the one doc or table and to read access where the task allows. An unrestricted token can do anything its owner can\n5. Read MCP tool names from the tool list at run time. The vendor says names and parameters can change during the beta\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Baserow or Coda (Superhuman Docs)?\n\nCoda (Superhuman Docs) scores 64.8 (B) on agent readiness against Baserow's 63.6 (B), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Baserow leads on agent ergonomics and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Baserow and Coda (Superhuman Docs) need an API key?\n\nBaserow needs an API key. Coda (Superhuman Docs) takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Baserow and Coda (Superhuman Docs) without installing anything?\n\nYes. Baserow has a hosted endpoint at https://api.baserow.io and Coda (Superhuman Docs) at https://coda.io/apis/v1.\n\n### Are Baserow and Coda (Superhuman Docs) open source?\n\nBaserow is open source (MIT for the core, including the REST API and the MCP server. Code under premium/ and enterprise/ is source-available under Baserow's own licences and needs a paid subscription in production. Docs are CC BY-SA 4.0).
