0.265.0: Introducing MCP Server
🚀 NocoDB : Feature Release
MCP Server – Talk to your database through AI
No more endless clicks or filters. With MCP Server, your NocoDB workspace connects directly to AI-powered tools like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf. Just ask in plain language, and your database answers back.
What’s Changed?
- 💬 Conversational queries – Ask questions like “Show me all customers who haven’t paid in 30 days” and get instant results.
- 📊 Instant insights & analysis – Pull reports, trends, and summaries without setting up filters or views.
- ⚡ Bulk operations – Run updates across many records in one go—no manual UI work.
- 🧹 Smart cleanup – Quickly find duplicates and inconsistencies with a single request.
- 🖥️ Seamless desktop integration – Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf (desktop only).
This is just the beginning—MCP opens the door for even deeper AI + database workflows coming soon.

Other Updates
- Only IDs based view URLs made it hard to navigate to them in browser: Your browser remembers full URLs for frequently visited tables and views, but the URLs only contained cryptic IDs instead of readable names. Now all view URLs include the table and view name, making it easy to type top leads in your browser to quickly navigate to views containing "top leads" in the table or column name.

-
File uploads needed a lot clicks: Adding attachments required multiple clicks and navigation steps. Now attachments can be dragged and dropped directly into attachment cells, making file uploads faster and more intuitive. Group states would reset when switching views: Previously expanded groups would automatically collapse when you switched between views, forcing you to re-expand them repeatedly. Now group state (expanded/collapsed) is maintained locally per view, preserving your organization preferences.
-
No easy way to copy Base IDs for API usage: Developers needed Base IDs for API integration but had no quick way to access them. Added Base ID copy functionality to the base menu, following the same pattern as table, view, and field ID copying—providing quick access for API usage.
-
Mobile view editor was difficult to use: Mobile operations in form view has been improved, ensuring a better usage experience across all devices.
-
German users couldn't use local date formats: The system didn't support standard German date conventions. Added German Date Format Support for DD.MM.YYYY and DD.MM.YY, enabling proper display and input of dates in local conventions.
-
DATEADD formula was limited to days only: Time-based calculations requiring hours, minutes, or seconds weren't possible. Enhanced DATEADD formula now supports adding hours, minutes, and seconds, enabling more precise date-time calculations.
