Build databases as spreadsheets
Alternative to: airtable
Introduced MCP Server for AI DB interactions, improved URL naming, drag-drop files, date formats, and fixed bugs.
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.

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 copyingβproviding 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.
