Bring No Code
to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect Baserow to VS Code Copilot and start using 9 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Baserow MCP Server?
Connect your Baserow account to any AI agent and take full control of your no-code relational databases and automated data management workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Workspace & Database Orchestration — List and monitor your entire Baserow ecosystem programmatically, from high-level workspaces to individual database applications
- Schema Intelligence — Access and manage tables and fields within your databases to maintain a perfectly coordinated high-fidelity data structure in real-time
- Row Lifecycle Management — Programmatically list, create, update, and delete rows in any table, retrieving detailed high-fidelity records using custom field names
- Search & Discovery — Use semantic keywords to search for specific records across your tables to maintain a perfectly coordinated digital ledger
- Infrastructure Monitoring — Retrieve metadata for database tokens and verify account-level permissions directly through your agent for instant reporting
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your Database Token from your Baserow settings (Settings > Database Tokens)
3. Start managing your no-code backend from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual entry into spreadsheet-like tables or digging through complex relations. Your AI acts as your dedicated database engineer and data architect.
Who is this for?
- Project Teams — instantly retrieve project records and update statuses using natural language commands
- Data Analysts — automate the collection of structured information and manage relational tables without leaving your workspace
- Developers — integrate high-speed no-code backends into custom business workflows through simple AI queries

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Baserow Database Token?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > Database Tokens, and create a new token with appropriate workspace permissions.
Can I search for records via AI?
Yes! The search_rows tool allows your agent to find records across a specific table matching your search criteria programmatically.
How do I find Table and Database IDs?
Use the list_applications tool to find Database IDs, and list_database_tables to find Table IDs within a specific application.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
