Grist Mcp Server

Overview

Grist Mcp Server exposes 11 tools for managing Grist documents through the Model Context Protocol. Any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call these tools directly, letting the model decide when to use them during conversations or agent runs.

The server runs locally via the npm package grist-mcp-server, communicating over stdio. Installation is straightforward using npx -y grist-mcp-server. You'll need to provide a GRIST_API_KEY environment variable for authentication. The latest release is v2.0.33, maintained at gwhthompson/grist-mcp-server on GitHub.

Grist Mcp Server is listed in the Development category and integrates with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep the information up to date.
