Connect ChatGPT with Coda MCP

1. Within ChatGPT, click on your account name in the lower-left, select Settings, then click into the Apps tab.
2. Select Advanced settings, then make sure the developer mode option is toggled on

   1. Note that if an enterprise manages your ChatGPT account, you may not be able to turn on developer mode. You would need to contact an admin for your organization and request that they adjust the settings to allow you to access developer mode.

      

3. Once developer mode has been enabled, click the Create app button.
4. Now you can give this new connection a name, ensure OAuth is selected for the authentication type, and enter the following URL into the MCP Server URL field: https://coda.io/apis/mcp
   1. Note that this method of authentication automatically sets the scope of the connection to read & write. As of today, it isn't currently possible to change the scope to read only or write only.
5. Once ready, check the box to confirm that you want to connect to the custom server, then click Create.

Connect Claude Chat & Cowork with Coda MCP

1. Open Claude
2. In the lower-left corner, click on your account name, then select Settings
3. Click into the Connectors section
4. Scroll to the bottom of the list of connectors, and select Add custom connectors

   1. Note that if an enterprise manages your Claude account, your administrators may have limited the ability to add custom connectors. In these cases, this button will be greyed out, and you will see this message: “Contact an organization owner to add custom connectors.” You will first need to have your admin modify your permissions before you can move forward with this process.

      

5. Give your connector a name, then enter the following URL into the Remote MCP Server URL field: https://coda.io/apis/mcp
6. Click Add
7. Now find the newly added connector in the list, and click Connect
8. Follow the prompts to allow Claude access to Coda
9. Once authorized, you’re all set. You can start taking actions in Coda with Claude!

Connect Claude Code with Coda MCP

1. First, you’ll need to generate an auth token from your Coda account page. You can click here (or scroll to the API settings section of your account page, then click Generate API token). Give your token a memorable name, ensure that the restriction type is MCP, and choose the type of access. Then click the Generate API token button to create. Once created, click the Copy token button to copy it to your clipboard.

   

2. Next, open a fresh terminal window and paste in the following block, making sure to replace the Your-Coda-Auth-Token section with the auth token you generated and copied in the previous step.

claude mcp add --transport http Coda 
https://coda.io/apis/mcp --header 
"Authorization: Bearer Your-Coda-Auth-Token"

3. Confirm that your MCP got added correctly by pasting the following command into the terminal:

claude mcp list

4. Start Claude Code by typing claude . into your terminal and ask it to connect to the Coda MCP.

Connect Cursor with Coda MCP

1. Within your Cursor app, simply open up Cursor Settings and select the Tools & MCP section.
2. Then click New MCP Server. This will open a new mcp.json file.
   1. Tip: Only enable the MCPs you are currently working with to save context and improve agent accuracy

3. Next, you’ll need to generate an auth token from your Coda account page. You can click here (or scroll to the API settings section of your account page, then click Generate API token). Give your token a memorable name, ensure that the restriction type is MCP, and choose the type of access. Then click the Generate API token button to create. Once created, click the Copy token button to copy it to your clipboard.

   

4. Now, inside your mcp.json file in Cursor, insert the following code, making sure to replace the Your-Coda-Auth-Token section with the auth token you generated and copied in the previous step.

{  
   "mcpServers": {    
      "Coda": {
        "url": "https://coda.io/apis/mcp",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer Your-Coda-Auth-Token"
      }
    }
  }
}

5. Once you’ve made the above edits, the file should be saved automatically, and you should now be connected to the Coda MCP. You can verify by checking the tools list (under Tools & MCP) or asking Cursor about your tools in Coda. 

   

   1. Tip: If you don’t see your MCP show up at this stage, restart Cursor.
