Pull Baserow schemas directly into Claude Desktop

This Baserow MCP Server gives Claude Desktop direct access to your database structures through `list_workspaces` and `list_applications`. You ask Claude to analyze your workspace setup, and the app reads your database schema instantly to map out your tables. Claude Desktop uses `list_tables` and `list_fields` to understand your exact column types before writing any data. You get an accurate visual representation of your Baserow database structure right inside your Claude Desktop chat window.

Read and search table records in Claude Desktop

The `list_rows` tool lets Claude Desktop search, filter, and page through your Baserow table records during a conversation. When you ask Claude to find specific entries, the desktop app queries your Baserow database and displays the matching rows. To inspect a single Baserow database entry, Claude Desktop runs `get_row` using our MCP integration to pull the exact fields you need. You inspect Baserow customer records or inventory items without switching Claude Desktop back and forth to your browser.

Update your database from the Claude Desktop chat

The `create_row` tool lets Claude Desktop add new records to your Baserow tables using raw JSON payloads. You paste a chunk of unformatted text into the chat, and Claude extracts the details to populate a new Baserow database row. When you need to modify existing records, Claude Desktop calls `update_row` or `delete_row` to keep your Baserow tables accurate. Your Baserow database updates happen in real time as you discuss changes with your Claude Desktop agent.
