Baserow + Claude
Read Baserow tables, fields, and rows from Baserow Cloud or a self-hosted instance. 4 generic read-only tools using database-token authentication.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
BASEROW_URL, BASEROW_API_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
The connector reads through Baserow's database API and never writes.
- In Baserow, open Settings → Database tokens and create a token with read access only to the databases and tables the AI should see.
- Set
BASEROW_API_TOKENto that token. Baserow expects it asAuthorization: Token <token>, not Bearer; the connector sends it that way. - Set
BASEROW_URLto the API host with no trailing slash:https://api.baserow.iofor Baserow Cloud, or your own host for a self-hosted instance (for examplehttps://baserow.example.com). - Start with
baserow_list_tables, thenbaserow_list_fieldsfor the table you need. Rows always come back with the real field names instead offield_1234.
A self-hosted Baserow on a private network needs AnythingMCP self-hosted on the same network, with the host added to SSRF_ALLOWED_HOSTS.
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Claude
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.
- In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
- Click +, then Add custom connector.
- Enter a name, e.g.
Baserow, and the remote MCP server URLhttps://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, then click Add. - Click Connect and sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) to allow access.

Available tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
baserow_list_tables | List every table visible to the configured database token |
baserow_list_fields | List the fields in one Baserow table so later row queries can use the real human-readable field names and understand their types |
baserow_list_rows | List rows from one Baserow table using human-readable field names |
baserow_get_row | Get one row by numeric row ID from a Baserow table, returning human-readable field names |
FAQ
Does it work with Claude Code as well as Claude Desktop? Yes — point both at https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID.
