Coda

What is Coda?

Coda is a Universal MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides a standardized interface for interacting with Coda.io's tools and services. It allows for reading and writing data to Coda docs and tables through a unified API, built on the Universal MCP framework.

How to use Coda?

Coda can be used directly from agentr.dev. Users need to visit agentr.dev/apps and enable Coda. For those new to Universal MCP, setup instructions are available at agentr.dev/quickstart.

For local development, the following steps are required:

1. Prerequisites: Python 3.11+ and uv (installed globally with pip install uv).
2. Setup Instructions:
   • Sync project dependencies: uv sync
   • Activate the virtual environment: source .venv/bin/activate (Linux/macOS) or .venv\Scripts\Activate (Windows PowerShell)
   • Start the MCP Inspector: mcp dev src/universal_mcp_coda/server.py
   • Install the Application: mcp install src/universal_mcp_coda/server.py

Local Development

📋 Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following before you begin:

• Python 3.11+ (recommended)
• uv (install globally with pip install uv)

🛠️ Setup Instructions

Follow the steps below to set up your development environment:

1. Sync Project Dependencies

   uv sync
   

   This installs all dependencies from pyproject.toml into a local virtual environment (.venv).

2. Activate the Virtual Environment

   For Linux/macOS:

   source .venv/bin/activate
   

   For Windows (PowerShell):

   .venv\Scripts\Activate
   

3. Start the MCP Inspector

   mcp dev src/universal_mcp_coda/server.py
   

   This will start the MCP inspector. Make note of the address and port shown in the console output.

4. Install the Application

   mcp install src/universal_mcp_coda/server.py
