Standardize Baserow Access for Your Team

The `list_tables` and `list_rows` tools give Copilot a direct line to your Baserow data. By committing a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository, every developer on the team gets the same MCP access instantly. No individual setup needed. A new developer can clone the repo and immediately ask Copilot, "show me the last 5 users from the production database." It just works. This gets rid of one-off scripts and makes sure everyone is on the same page.

Let Copilot Handle Baserow Schema Details

This server exposes `list_fields` and `get_table` so Copilot can learn your database schema on its own. Before generating code that interacts with Baserow, it can check for correct field names, types, and required properties. This means the code Copilot writes is more accurate and less likely to fail. It reduces the back-and-forth of fixing small errors caused by outdated schema knowledge. Your agent builds with a real-time understanding of your data.

Automate Database Chores in VS Code

The `create_row`, `update_row`, and `delete_row` tools allow Copilot to modify your Baserow data. This is perfect for automating repetitive tasks like seeding a development database or managing feature flags stored in a table. You can ask your agent to "add a new test account with an admin role" right from the chat. It's a simple way to handle database admin tasks without breaking your coding workflow or needing a separate tool.

Setup guide

Set up Baserow MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the Baserow MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Baserow tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Baserow transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
