Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check MCP Coda every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mcp-coda -e 'CODA_API_TOKEN=<CODA_API_TOKEN>' -- uvx mcp-coda

      ],

        "CODA_API_TOKEN": "<CODA_API_TOKEN>"
      }

      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-coda"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CODA_API_TOKEN": "<CODA_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Put your own value in place of <CODA_API_TOKEN> (Coda API token (also accepts CODA_TOKEN or CODA_PAT)). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: CODA_READ_ONLY (Alias for MCP_READ_ONLY. Any value other than false/0/no/off/empty locks the server read-only; --read-only can only raise the lock), MCP_READ_ONLY (Locks the server read-only: write tools and write-workflow prompts are not listed and nothing lifts the lock at runtime. Shared name across the mcp-* servers; set it in the deployer's env), CODA_HTTP_BEARER_TOKEN (Bearer token (min 16 chars) required to bind an HTTP transport to a non-loopback host; clients send it as 'Authorization: Bearer <token>').

MCP Coda — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Coda?
MCP Coda runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package mcp-coda was installed 482 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Coda?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-coda straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Coda?
The pypi package mcp-coda was installed 482 times in the last week. Week over week that is -59%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Coda open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 2 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
