How do I get a Baserow API Token?

Log in to your Baserow workspace, go to **Database Settings > API Tokens** (or Workspace Settings > API Tokens), click **Create Token**, give it a name and set the permissions (create, read, update, delete) for specific tables. Copy the token immediately — it won't be shown again.

Can I create and update rows programmatically?

Yes! Use `create_row` with the table ID and a JSON object of field_name: value pairs. Use `update_row` with the table ID, row ID and the fields to update. First use `list_fields` to discover the available field names and their types for the table.

Can I filter rows by field values?

Yes! The `list_rows` tool supports pagination and ordering. Use the `page` and `size` parameters for pagination, and `order_by` to sort by any field (prefix with `-` for descending). The underlying API also supports field-level filtering through the filter parameter.

What field types does Baserow support?

Baserow supports: text, number, boolean, date, long_text, email, url, single_select, multiple_select, link_row (relationships), file, rating, formula, lookup, rollup, last_modified and created_on fields. Use `list_fields` to see the exact types in your table.

Baserow + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Baserow MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design — tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
