You can now push updates to your docs without switching windows. The `insert_rows` and `update_row` tools let you modify your data directly from your chat session. Need to clear out old entries? Use `delete_rows` to clean up your workspace in seconds. Your Claude Desktop environment handles the heavy lifting.

Read and query Coda docs with Claude Desktop

Stop hunting for links in your browser. Use `list_docs` and `get_doc_details` to find exactly what you need while you work. Once you find the right file, `list_tables` and `list_rows` pull the content into your conversation. It saves you from tab-switching fatigue.

Check your logic without opening the Coda editor. The `list_formulas` tool exposes the calculations inside your docs so you can review them instantly. You can also verify your account status using `get_user_profile`. It keeps your workspace details front and center during your project.
