Bring Spreadsheets
to AutoGen
Learn how to connect Rows to AutoGen and start using 11 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Rows MCP Server?
Connect your Rows.com account to any AI agent and take full control of your spreadsheet-based data orchestration and collaborative workflows through natural conversation. Rows provides a modern spreadsheet platform with built-in integrations, and this integration allows you to retrieve row metadata, update cell values, and perform complex data queries directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Spreadsheet & Table Orchestration — List all managed spreadsheets and retrieve detailed metadata, including table structures programmatically.
- Data Value Intelligence — Access and monitor range values to retrieve real-time spreadsheet data directly from the AI interface.
- Cell Lifecycle Management — Update and append values to specific ranges to ensure your records are always synchronized via natural language.
- Folder & Organization Control — List and search through your folders to maintain a clear overview of your digital workspace.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system activity and manage spreadsheet metadata using simple AI commands to streamline your business workflows.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Rows.com API Key from your workspace settings
3. Start managing your collaborative spreadsheets from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual copy-pasting or complex VLOOKUP building. Your AI acts as a dedicated data analyst or spreadsheet coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Operations Managers — quickly retrieve data summaries and update project trackers without switching browser tabs.
- Data Analysts — automate the ingestion of new records and track aggregate values via natural conversation.
- Business Owners — streamline the retrieval of spreadsheet metadata and monitor organizational health directly within the chat.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the values for a specific cell range in a Rows spreadsheet?
Yes! Use the get_range_values tool. Provide the Spreadsheet ID, Table ID, and the Range (e.g., 'A1:C10'), and your agent will return the current values instantly.
How do I find my Rows.com API Key?
Log in to Rows, go to your Workspace Settings, click the Rows API tab, and you will find your unique secret API key there.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Rows tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
