Model Context Protocol

A standard interface between your data and AI.

DataBased runs an MCP server for your spreadsheets so any compatible AI client can discover, read and — where allowed — update your data.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI applications discover and use external tools and data in a consistent way.

How DataBased exposes data

Each connected spreadsheet becomes a set of typed resources, based on the data model DataBased detects.

Resources & tools

Read resources like customers or deals, and call tools such as search, get, update or add_record.

Authentication

Clients authenticate with scoped credentials. Read and write permissions are configured per dataset.

Example workflow

// illustrative — not the final API
client.listResources()           → ["customers", "deals"]
client.callTool("search_customers", { last_contact_before: "30d" })
                                 → 12 records
client.callTool("update_customer", {
  id: "acme", status: "Contacted", next_action: "Follow up · Tuesday"
})                               → ok · 2 cells written
