coda-mcp

Coda MCP Server

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that acts as a bridge to interact with the Coda API. It allows an MCP client (like an AI assistant) to perform actions on a specific Coda ument, such as listing, creating, reading, updating, duplicating, and renaming pages.

Features

The server exposes the following tools to the MCP client:

• coda_list_documents: Lists all documents available to the user.
• coda_list_pages: Lists all pages within the configured Coda document.
• coda_create_page: Creates a new page in the document, optionally populating it with initial markdown content.
• coda_get_page_content: Retrieves the content of a specified page (by ID or name) as markdown.
• coda_replace_page_content: Replaces the content of a specified page with new markdown content.
• coda_append_page_content: Appends new markdown content to the end of a specified page.
• coda_duplicate_page: Creates a copy of an existing page with a new name.
• coda_rename_page: Renames an existing page.

Usage

Add the MCP server to Cursor/Claude Desktop/etc. like so:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coda": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "coda-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Required environment variables:

• API_KEY: Your Coda API key. You can generate one from your Coda account settings.

This MCP server is also available with Docker, like so:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coda": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "API_KEY", "reaperberri/coda-mcp:latest"],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "..."
      }
    }
  }
}

npx -y coda-mcp@latest

Local Setup

1. Prerequisites:

   • Node.js
   • pnpm

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd coda-mcp
   

3. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install
   

4. Build the project:

   pnpm build
   

   This compiles the TypeScript code to JavaScript in the dist/ directory.

Running the Server

The MCP server communicates over standard input/output (stdio). To run it, set the environment variables and run the compiled JavaScript file - dist/index.js.

Development

• Linting: pnpm lint
• Formatting: pnpm format
• OpenAPI Client Generation: pnpm openapi-ts (if the Coda API spec changes)
