LABSCO SUMMARY

Your NocoDB tables, addressable by conversation.

The whole point is direct database work from a chat window — "add a row named X", "remove the suffix from every name", "delete rows named naruto" — including bulk operations and schema changes like adding a column. It talks to NocoDB over its API token, so the one setup step is finding your base id, which the README shows is just the middle part of the instance URL.

What it is

An MCP server for NocoDB that turns plain-language requests into CRUD operations over your database. It reads and writes table rows, and can add or remove columns, through the Model Context Protocol. This is a TypeScript fork of an earlier NocoDB MCP server.

What you get

Records read from a named table
Rows created, updated across matches, and deleted by criteria
Bulk create and bulk delete of records
Columns added to and removed from a table
A table created from JSON files

Requirements

A NocoDB instance with an API token. NOCODB_URL, NOCODB_API_TOKEN and NOCODB_BASE_ID go in .env or the client's env block; the base id is the middle segment of a NocoDB URL. Install is a clone plus npm install and npm run build, launched as dist/start.js with node — or run directly via npx -y nocodb-mcp-server <YOUR_NOCODB_URL> <YOUR_NOCODB_BASE_ID> <YOUR_NOCODB_API_TOKEN>. The package.json names it nocodb-mcp-server at 1.0.24.

Setup effort

One command plus a key — npx -y nocodb-mcp-server <YOUR_NOCODB_URL> <YOUR_NOCODB_BASE_ID> <YOUR_NOCODB_API_TOKEN> , then supply credentials

See installation options

USE CASES

01

Editing table data in plain language

Ask for the rows you want changed and let it update or delete across the matches.

02

Loading data in bulk

Create many records at once, or build a table straight from JSON files.

03

Adjusting a table's shape

Add a column, populate it across rows, then drop it again when it is no longer needed.

04

Reading what a table holds

Pull records from a named table to see its current contents.
