Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account nkpar for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that lets an AI assistant read and write Coda.io documents, tables, rows, pages, formulas and controls through the Coda API.

What you can do: List, search, inspect, create and permanently delete documents, and list pages with their HTML content and export workflow for canvas pages. List tables and columns, and read rows with optional filtering. Add, update and delete rows in Coda tables. List named formulas and controls and read formula values. Handle Coda API rate limits and queued write responses.
When to use it: Useful when your team keeps project plans, trackers or structured data in Coda and you want an assistant to look things up, summarize pages, or add and edit rows without switching apps. Also fits workflows that create documents from templates or folders.
Requirements: Runs as a local process on the user's machine (desktop only), installed via cargo, a pre-built binary, or the Docker image. Requires a Coda API token supplied in the CODA_API_TOKEN environment variable; write operations need a token with write permissions. Optional CODA_BASE_URL and RUST_LOG variables. Network access to the Coda API.

Before you install

The token grants access to your Coda workspace; write-enabled tokens allow creating, updating and permanently deleting documents and rows. delete_doc is permanent. Writes are queued and may take a few seconds to appear. Keep the token out of shared config files.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Coda in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Rate limit handling

Quick Start

1. Install

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):

json

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

{  "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)

From Source

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.

Claude Code (CLI):

bash

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 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:

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"      }    }  }}

{  "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:

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):

json

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

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

Claude Code (CLI):

bash

# Binaryclaude 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

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

Rate Limits

Coda API has rate limits:

Reading: 100 requests per 6 seconds
Writing: 10 requests per 6 seconds

Write operations return HTTP 202 (queued). Changes may take a few seconds to appear.

Security

API tokens are redacted from all log output
Download URLs validated against trusted hosts only (coda.io, codahosted.io, storage.googleapis.com)
Request limits capped at 1000 to prevent resource exhaustion
Install script uses silent input for tokens and sets restrictive file permissions (600)
