MCP Server for Coda
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that acts as a bridge to interact with the Coda API. It allows an MCP client (like an AI assistant) to perform actions on Coda pages, such as listing, creating, reading, updating, duplicating, and renaming.
[!NOTE] This MCP server is not developed or maintained by Coda; it's a community-built project.
Features
The server exposes the following tools to the MCP client:
- `coda_list_documents`: Lists all documents available to the user.
- `coda_list_pages`: Lists all pages within the configured Coda document with pagination support.
- `coda_create_page`: Creates a new page in the document, optionally under a specified parent page (creating a subpage) and populating it with initial markdown content.
- `coda_get_page_content`: Retrieves the content of a specified page (by ID or name) as markdown.
- `coda_replace_page_content`: Replaces the content of a specified page with new markdown content.
- `coda_append_page_content`: Appends new markdown content to the end of a specified page.
- `coda_duplicate_page`: Creates a copy of an existing page with a new name.
- `coda_rename_page`: Renames an existing page.
- `coda_peek_page`: Peek into the beginning of a page and return a limited number of lines.
- `coda_resolve_link`: Resolve metadata given a browser link to a Coda object.
- `coda_list_tables`: List tables in a document.
- `coda_list_columns`: List columns in a table.
- `coda_list_rows`: List rows in a table with optional filtering and sorting.
- `coda_get_row`: Get a single row from a table.
- `coda_upsert_rows`: Insert or upsert rows into a table.
- `coda_update_row`: Update a single row in a table.
- `coda_delete_row`: Delete a single row from a table.
- `coda_delete_rows`: Delete multiple rows from a table.
- `coda_push_button`: Push a button column on a row in a table.

Built from this server's own package name, version and transport as found in its source — not copied from anyone's documentation, so it cannot drift against a page we do not control. Replace the environment placeholders with a token scoped to the least it needs.

Questions
What is the Coda MCP server?
MCP Server for Coda
What tools does Coda expose?
19 in total: 12 read-only, 5 that write, and 2 that can delete or overwrite (coda_delete_row, coda_delete_rows). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Coda safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B. Separately from the audit: 2 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.
What credentials does Coda need?
It reads API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does Coda run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as coda-mcp at 1.7.1.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (e6245ae517ea), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
