TypeTable in the AI tools you already use

Connect TypeTable to AI tools you already use — Claude Desktop, Cursor, and others — with a single API token. Your tables stay current where you work.

Why connect your AI tools

Real data your AI tools can trust

Real records, not notes

Your assistant can list tables, look up rows, and add or edit records against the same checked data you use in chat — not notes it forgets.

Your rules still apply

Required fields and permissions hold whether a person or an AI tool writes. A bad value is refused the same way.

Works with your tools

Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other compatible tools connect with a secure token.

Setup

Connect in three steps

Create an API token

In TypeTable, open Settings → API tokens and create one. Copy it right away — it's shown once and starts with ath_.
Add TypeTable to your client

Pick your client below, paste the config, and drop your token into the Authorization header.
Restart and ask

Restart the client, then ask it to “show my TypeTable tables” or “add a row to …”. It's reading your live data.

.mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "typetable": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.typetable.io/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ath_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add .mcp.json to your project root — or run claude mcp add --transport http typetable https://app.typetable.io/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer ath_…".

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "typetable": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://app.typetable.io/api/mcp",
        "--allow-http",
        "--transport",
        "http-only",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${TYPETABLE_MCP_TOKEN}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TYPETABLE_MCP_TOKEN": "Bearer ath_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop — a reload isn't enough.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "typetable": {
      "url": "https://app.typetable.io/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ath_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (user‑wide) or .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then restart Cursor.

Tokens are created and revoked in Settings → API tokens; each is shown once and stored securely. Self‑hosting TypeTable? Point your client at your own deployment's /api/mcp instead.

Connect your AI tools to your data

Create a token, paste the config, and your AI tools can read and update your TypeTable tables in minutes.
