NocoDB 2026.10.1 fits classic apps to phones and puts rate limits on MCP.

◆Current state
NocoDB ships a monthly release plus patches. 2026.10.0 let Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients connect by signing in. 2026.10.1, labelled a bug fix release, goes further: published classic apps fit phone screens, MCP gets per-account rate limits and last-used times for connected apps, and the consent screen warns about unverified apps. It also carries behavior changes to check: API timestamps now include milliseconds on PostgreSQL and SQLite, password changes delete API tokens and disconnect OAuth apps, and setting the attachment access flag alone now stops /download and /dl serving files.
◆Where it's heading
Agent access remains the product's spine, but the work has shifted from widening reach to governing it, with rate limits, hashed MCP tokens, connected-app visibility and consent warnings. Classic apps keep getting real investment despite the rename, which suggests the newer app layer isn't replacing them soon.
◆Prediction
Expect the non-classic Apps builder, likely prompt-driven via NocoAI, to be introduced in a coming release, and more MCP controls alongside it. The entries don't show its scope or plan tiering.

    NocoDB 2026.10.1: classic apps on phones, MCP rate limits

    Billed as a bug fix release, this one adds phone layouts for classic apps, MCP rate limits, connected-app last-used times and role-based page buttons. It also shifts MCP work from reach to control, and the millisecond timestamps, token deletion on password change and stricter attachment access can break existing integrations.

    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.

    2026.09.0 : NocoDB in the Claude Connector Marketplace

    ⚡ 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.
