How to Use the Baserow MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I configure the Baserow tools for just one project in Cursor?

Yes. Add the MCP server configuration to a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project's root directory. This will scope the tools to that project only.

Q: Will Cursor automatically know the schema for my Baserow tables?

Yes, it can. The agent can use the listfields tool to inspect a table's columns, names, and types before it tries to read or write data. This makes its actions more reliable.

Q: What's the best way to get started with the Baserow MCP server in Cursor?

The fastest way is to create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project folder. Add the server details there, switch to Agent mode in the chat, and start asking it to interact with your Baserow data.

Pull live Baserow data directly into your code with Cursor. Stop mocking APIs and start building with real records.

Generate Code with Live Data

The `list_rows` and `get_row` tools let Cursor's agent fetch real data from your Baserow tables. The agent then uses that live data to write actual code. No more using placeholder text or outdated mocks. For example, ask the agent to "fetch the user schema and write a TypeScript interface for it." It will call `list_fields`, get the response, and generate a perfectly typed interface right in your editor. This saves a ton of time and prevents bugs from schema drift.

Manage Your Database from the Editor

Use `create_row`, `update_row`, and `delete_row` without leaving your IDE. When you're testing and need to reset state or add a new record, just ask the agent. It's faster than switching to a database client or running a separate script. This is great for managing seed data during development. You can tell your agent to populate a table with specific test cases or clear it out before a test run. It turns database chores into a simple chat command.

Explore Baserow APIs with this MCP Server

This MCP Server turns your editor into a Baserow exploration tool. Instead of digging through API docs, you can use `list_databases`, `list_tables`, and `list_fields` to find what you need. Ask the agent "what tables are in the main database?" and get an instant list. This is especially useful when you're new to a project. You can quickly map out the database structure and understand the data relationships directly inside Cursor. It shortens the time it takes to get up to speed on a new codebase.

Setup guide

Set up Baserow MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Baserow MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Baserow transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Baserow tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

Common questions about Baserow MCP in Cursor

Once configured, the Baserow tools become available to the agent in Cursor. You can instruct it to query, create, or update records, and the agent will call the appropriate tool and use the results in its response or code generation.
