About Baserow MCP Server
Connect your Baserow databases to any AI agent and take full control of your data through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Baserow tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Database Discovery — List all databases and tables the token has access to with their schemas
- Schema Exploration — Browse table fields (columns) with their types (text, number, boolean, date, select, etc.)
- Row Operations — List, create, update and delete rows with full CRUD support
- Filtered Queries — Query rows with pagination, ordering and field-based filtering
- View Management — List configured views (grid, gallery, kanban, form, calendar) with their filter and sort rules
The Baserow MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the Baserow MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Baserow through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Baserow + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Baserow MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Baserow and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Baserow tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Baserow and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Baserow data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
Baserow MCP Tools for Windsurf (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Baserow to Windsurf via MCP:
create_row
Requires the table ID and a JSON object with field_name: value pairs matching the table schema. Use list_fields to discover available field names. Returns the created row with its ID and all field values. Create a new row in a Baserow table
delete_row
Provide the table ID and row ID. WARNING: this action is irreversible. Delete a row from a Baserow table
get_row
Field names are returned in user-readable format. Provide the table ID and row ID. Get a specific row from a Baserow table
get_table
Provide the table ID from list_tables. Get details for a specific Baserow table
list_databases
Each database shows its ID, name, workspace and creation date. Use this to discover available databases before querying their tables. List all Baserow databases
list_fields
Each field shows its ID, name, type (text, number, boolean, date, single_select, long_text, link_row, file, etc.), order and required status. Use this to understand the data schema before querying or creating rows. List fields (columns) of a Baserow table
list_rows
Optionally filter by field values (using user_field_names) and set page/size for pagination. Results include count, next/previous page URLs and the rows array. Use field names (not IDs) for readable results. List rows in a Baserow table
list_tables
Each table shows its ID, name, database, field count and creation date. Use this to discover the data schema before querying rows. List all tables accessible in Baserow
list_views
Each view shows its ID, name, type, filter settings and sort rules. Useful for understanding how data is organized and filtered in the UI. List views configured for a Baserow table
update_row
Requires the table ID, row ID and a JSON object with field_name: value pairs for the fields to update. Only provided fields will be modified. Use list_fields to discover available field names. Update an existing row in a Baserow table
