--- title: "Coda MCP server for AI agents - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 125 Coda actions through one MCP server: packs, pages, analytics, doc acl. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/coda updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · Files & documents # Coda MCP server for AI agents. actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Coda and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 125 Coda actions (68 reads, 40 writes and 17 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Coda credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Coda's limits and records every call. [Connect Coda free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you. `claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` the first call ``` do { action: "coda.folders.list", intent: "check which Coda account is connected" } # List folders · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 125 actions in one signed file - 68 read look, never change - 40 write create and update - 17 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect Coda in three steps. 1. 01 ### Add actionlake to Claude. Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us. `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` 2. 02 ### Connect Coda. Bearer token. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key. - `api_token` Coda API token ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "coda" } # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you ``` 3. 03 ### Make the first call. Check before a write. Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free. ``` do { action: "coda.folders.list" } # list folders · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "coda.folders.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Coda at a glance **Sign-in** Bearer token.

Under the `human` policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email.

The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "coda" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Coda?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 17 Coda actions are destructive, including delete a folder, delete a doc and delete a row. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it. **Will an AI agent use up my Coda API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Coda service file: 100 calls per 6 seconds per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (67 Coda actions can be), which never reaches Coda. **What does a Coda action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (125 Coda actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Coda refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000. **Which Coda API does it cover?** The Coda API v1 (OpenAPI 3.0.0, 1.6.0) at coda.io/apis/v1. It is built from Coda's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 125 actions in 32 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my Coda data, and where?** actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Coda credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models. **Which AI clients can use it?** Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names. ## More connectors like Coda Shares the most action names with - [Filevine 10](https://actionlake.com/connectors/filevine) - [Concord 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/concord) - [signNow 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/signnow) - [DocuWare 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/docuware) - [Document360 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/document360) - [Keboola 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/keboola) Joins with, on shared entities - [Metabase 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/metabase) - [Clio Manage 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/clio-manage) - [Botpress 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/botpress) - [iManage Work 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/imanage-work) - [Vimeo 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/vimeo) - [Baserow 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/baserow) Browse - [All Files & documents connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/files-and-documents) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
