NocoDB lets MCP clients connect by signing in and adds workflow run playback in 2026.10.0.

◆Current state
NocoDB ships a monthly release. In September MCP moved from the Claude connector directory to an account-wide agent surface. 2026.10.0 lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients connect by signing in, with no token to copy and no more access than the user's own role. It also adds step-through playback and pause/resume/retry for workflow runs, button-triggered automations, workload views in Timeline, and renames Interfaces to classic apps under a new Apps menu.
◆Where it's heading
Agent access is now the product's spine: three releases in a row have widened what MCP clients can reach and how easily they connect, while workflows gain the observability expected of an automation tool. Renaming Interfaces to classic apps, plus a prompt box on the new project page when NocoAI is on, suggests a newer app layer is coming that the release doesn't describe yet.
◆Prediction
Expect the non-classic Apps builder, likely prompt-driven via NocoAI, to be introduced in a coming release. The entries don't show its scope or plan tiering.

    2026.10.0 : Plan Capacity, Play Back Workflows, Connect Any AI Tool & More

    Sign-in-based MCP connections remove the last setup step for agent access, completing the arc that ran from the Claude connector in September to account-wide MCP. Workflow playback and run controls bring automations closer to production use, and the rename of Interfaces to classic apps hints at a successor app layer.

    ⚡ SPARK

    This release moved NocoDB's MCP from an experimental endpoint to an agent integration users can find in Claude's connector directory. The tool count jumped about twelvefold, which set up the account-wide release that followed.

    2026.08.1 : Introducing Realtime Presence and Folders

    Realtime presence in the grid and folders bring NocoDB closer to the collaborative feel of Airtable and Google Sheets. These are core usability upgrades rather than a new direction.
