  "summary": "Baserow is automatable today through its REST API. This record is Baserow Cloud and the same product self-hosted. Airtable is a separate product. Database tokens authenticate row reads and writes with Authorization: Token and do not change table structure. JWT tokens, sent as Authorization: JWT, are temporary and are documented for structure changes. The user docs list row create, get, update, move, and delete endpoints. Baserow also ships a first-party MCP server. The user guide calls it a native MCP server, lists row and schema tools, and says the generated endpoint URL should be treated as a password. The Baserow repository documents https://api.baserow.io/mcp for baserow.io and a self-hosted URL of the backend host plus /mcp. The agent only receives the workspace and tools allowed at sign-in. Webhooks notify external systems when data changes. Table export includes CSV. An SDK and a product CLI were not opened. Connector catalogs were not opened. https://baserow.io/llms.txt is a Baserow source list for agents. Computer-use viability is unassessed. The API and the MCP both score 7. The API is the best path because a database token is a long-lived credential for row work, while the MCP endpoint is a workspace secret limited to the tools selected at sign-in.\n"
