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**Teable.** Personal access tokens and OAuth tokens carry per-action scopes, and tokens can be limited to chosen spaces and projects. The public OpenAPI file covers 841 operations. Error responses beyond 200 and 201 are missing from that file, no idempotency keys were found, and the cloud allows 10 requests a second on every plan.\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### Teable\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer \u003ctoken\u003e` to `https://app.teable.ai/api`. A 403 with code `restricted_resource` usually means a missing scope or a project outside the token's list\n2. Page records with `take` of 100 at most. Personal keys created on Teable Cloud since 10 September 2026 are capped at 100 a request\n3. Ask for totals from `/api/table/{tableId}/aggregation/row-count`. Record lists stopped returning them by default on 2 September 2026\n4. Keep to 10 requests a second, back off on 429, and check before retrying a failed write because no idempotency key exists\n5. Pass `fieldKeyType=id` so renamed fields don't break writes, and leave `typecast` off unless values need converting\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Baserow or Teable?\n\nBaserow scores 63.6 (B) on agent readiness against Teable's 61 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Teable leads on reliability and security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do Baserow and Teable need an API key?\n\nBaserow needs an API key. Teable takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Baserow and Teable without installing anything?\n\nYes. Baserow has a hosted endpoint at https://api.baserow.io and Teable at https://app.teable.ai/api.\n\n### Are Baserow and Teable open source?\n\nYes. Baserow 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). Teable is open source (AGPL-3.0 with additional brand terms for the backend and web app, MIT for the packages directory. Enterprise functions and the `@teable/cli` package (ISC on npm) are built in a private repository).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/baserow-vs-teable.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/baserow-vs-teable.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"baserow\", \"b\": \"teable\"}`.
