Read rows, check tables and change data in Baserow, the open-source no-code database, without leaving your AI app. ContextGate connects Baserow's MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, where you decide whether edits stay possible, and every read or change shows up in Activity.

  • Change table data from a chat instead of editing rows by hand.

The full tool list appears in ContextGate after you connect.

  • Activity shows each read and change, so an edit made through an AI app can be traced.
