MCP Server Overview

Introducing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server: A seamless integration with Large Language Models.

We’ve integrated an MCP server directly into Baserow, enabling easy interaction with Large Language Models like Claude or Cursor that support the protocol.

Getting Started with MCP Server

The MCP server URL is compatible with any supported client, providing a unique endpoint that allows the LLM to perform actions in your workspace on your behalf.

Supported Operations

The MCP server supports all standard CRUD operations through natural language prompts.

Operation	Description	Example Prompt
Create	Add new records	“Add a new task called ‘Review Documentation’”
Read	Query existing data	“Find all projects due this week”
Update	Modify records	“Change the status to ‘In Progress’”
Delete	Remove records	“Delete completed tasks older than 30 days”

We recommend using a high-parameter model for the MCP to function properly.

Setting up the MCP Server

Here are the detailed steps to set up an MCP server:

1. Click on your Workspace name in the top navigation bar
2. Select My Settings from the dropdown menu
3. Click on the MCP Server tab in the settings panel
4. Click the Create New Endpoint button
5. Enter a descriptive name for your endpoint
6. Select your workspace from the dropdown list
7. Click More Details to expand additional options
8. Choose your preferred LLM from the available options:
   • Claude
   • Cursor
   • Windsurf
9. Follow the specific configuration instructions for your chosen LLM (detailed in sections below)

Claude:

Three simple steps to get started with Claude Desktop and the Baserow MCP:

1. Open the Claude Desktop settings from the navigation bar (⌘+,)
2. Go to the “Develop” tab and click “Edit Config”
3. Include the following JSON configuration in claude_desktop_config.json

Cursor:

Three simple steps to get started with Cursor and the Baserow MCP:

1. Open Cursor settings (⇧+⌘+J)
2. Navigate to the “MCP” tab and click “Add MCP Server”
3. Add the JSON configuration

Windsurf:

Two easy steps to set up MCP with Cascade in Windsurf:

1. Navigate to Windsurf - Settings → Advanced Settings or Command Palette → Open Windsurf settings page
2. Scroll down to the Cascade section where you’ll find options to add a new server, view existing servers, and a button to view the raw JSON config file at mcp_config.json. Add the JSON configuration

JSON configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Baserow MCP": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "MCP URL"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Treat your MCP URL as securely as a password, since it grants full access to modify your Baserow data.

Security Note: Your MCP URL contains sensitive credentials. Never share it publicly or store it in an unsecured location.
