How to Use the Baserow MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Cascade know which fields to update in Baserow?

It runs listfields to pull the exact schema for your table. This returns the field IDs, types, and required status so the agent formats the updaterow payload correctly.

Q: Will Windsurf delete my Baserow records without asking?

Cascade operates autonomously, meaning it can execute deleterow if that fits your prompt. You should be specific when asking the agent to clean up or remove data to avoid accidental deletions.

Give Cascade direct read and write access to your Baserow databases right inside Windsurf.

Perplexity

Map databases autonomously

Cascade doesn't need you to explain your Baserow database structure. It uses `list_databases` and `list_tables` to figure out what data exists. Then it runs `list_fields` to pull the exact column types and required statuses before it even tries to write a query. This means you can ask for a specific customer record, and Windsurf will map the relationships on its own. It checks `list_views` to understand how your team filters data in the UI, ensuring the agent sees the exact same context.

Chain CRUD operations with Cascade

Editing Baserow records usually requires context switching to a browser. Now Cascade handles that entire workflow. It runs `list_rows` to find the target entry, grabs the ID, and immediately executes an `update_row` command. The agent chains these actions without stopping to ask for permission. If you need to migrate user statuses, Windsurf iterates through the table, reads the current state with `get_row`, and pushes the new values.

Connect this Baserow MCP Server

Setting up this Baserow MCP Server takes seconds. You drop the connection details into your Windsurf configuration, and the editor auto-discovers all ten available tools. From there, you just tell Cascade what outcome you want. The agent handles the API mechanics in the background, executing everything from batch reads to a destructive `delete_row` command.

Setup guide

Set up Baserow MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

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

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Baserow payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Baserow tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Baserow MCP in Windsurf

Open Settings, navigate to Cascade, and find the MCP Servers UI. You can also edit `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` directly to add the endpoint. Click refresh, and Cascade will auto-discover the tools.

No. The current toolset focuses on row and schema management. Cascade can read table structures using `get_table`, but you need to create the actual tables in the Baserow UI first.

It runs `list_fields` to pull the exact schema for your table. This returns the field IDs, types, and required status so the agent formats the `update_row` payload correctly.

Cascade operates autonomously, meaning it can execute `delete_row` if that fits your prompt. You should be specific when asking the agent to clean up or remove data to avoid accidental deletions.

All authentication happens through your endpoint token via the Vinkius V8 Isolate Sandbox. The connection reads your specific table rows, field names, and view configurations. Everything runs in an ephemeral environment that shuts down the moment your session ends.
