Nocodb MCP Server

Introduction

The Nocodb MCP Server enables seamless interaction with a Nocodb database using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It facilitates CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on Nocodb tables.

Example Prompt

[Get Records]
get data from nocodb, table: Shinobi

[Create Record]
add new row, with name: sasuke-2
add other row, with name: naruto-2

[Update Record]
update all rows, remove suffix -

[Delete Record]
delete all rows with name naruto

[Add Column]
add column with name: Age

update all rows, set Age to 18

[Delete Column]
delete column with name: Age

Example Prompt - Upload File

[Create table]
from the json files
put on nocodb database
table name is TableShinobi

json location file in: example_upload.json

About This Fork

This repository is a TypeScript-based fork of Nocodb-MCP-Server. It retains the core functionality while improving maintainability and compatibility with modern TypeScript development practices.

Setup

Ensure that Node.js and TypeScript are installed, then execute:

npm install
npm run build

Configuration

Define the required environment variables in a .env file:

NOCODB_URL=https://your-nocodb-instance.com
NOCODB_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here
NOCODB_BASE_ID=your_base_id_here

tips: duplicate from file env.example

How to Obtain NOCODBBASEID

To find your NOCODB_BASE_ID, check the URL of your Nocodb instance.
For example: https://app.nocodb.com/#/wi6evls6/pqmob3ammcknma5/maty9c5xkmf4012
In this URL format:

https://app.nocodb.com/#/{USERNAME}/{NOCODB_BASE_ID}/{TABLE_ID}

Integration with Claude Desktop

Modify claude_desktop_config.json to include:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nocodb": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["{working_folder}/dist/start.js"],
      "env": {
        "NOCODB_URL": "https://your-nocodb-instance.com",
        "NOCODB_BASE_ID": "your_base_id_here",
        "NOCODB_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Direct call from CLI

You can directly call the MCP server from the command line:
NOCODBURL, NOCOBDAPITOKEN, and NOCODBBASE_ID are required parameters.
NOCODB_URL= https://app.nocodb.com if you are using nocodb cloud.

npx -y nocodb-mcp-server {NOCODB_URL} {NOCODB_BASE_ID} {NOCODB_API_TOKEN} 

Testing CLI

To run the tests, execute:

npx -y @wong2/mcp-cli npx nocodb-mcp-server {NOCODB_URL} {NOCODB_BASE_ID} {NOCODB_API_TOKEN}
