Append one or more typed columns to a table and return the complete resulting column list.

Delete Columns

Permanently delete one or more columns and their cell data, then return the complete remaining column list.

Delete Rows

Permanently delete one or more rows from a table; missing row IDs are ignored and count as zero deletions.

Get Rows

Return all rows or up to 50 selected rows using stable column IDs or title-keyed fields.

Get Table

Get one table's metadata, column IDs and types, and views before reading or changing its data.

Insert Rows

Insert one or more rows into a table in one request and return the created rows with their IDs.

List Project Tables

List tables in one Retable project with their IDs, columns, and parent workspace and project IDs.

List Workspace Projects

List projects accessible in one workspace, including project IDs needed to discover tables.

List Workspaces

List workspaces visible to the connected Retable account, including each workspace ID needed to discover projects.

Search Rows

Search a table for a value in a primary column and return matching rows from an optional starting offset.

Update Rows

Update cells in one or more existing rows in one request and return the updated row IDs.

SETUP GUIDE

Connect Retable MCP Tool with your Agent

1

Install Composio

typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/mcp @ai-sdk/openai
Install the Composio SDK and your agent framework
2

Create a session with MCP enabled

typescript
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";

const composio = new Composio();
const { mcp } = await composio.create("your-user-id", {
  toolkits: ["retable"],
  mcp: true,
});
Create a session scoped to Retable and read its MCP URL and headers
3

Connect your agent to the MCP server

typescript
import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from "ai";

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: { type: "http", url: mcp.url, headers: mcp.headers },
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-5.6-sol"),
  tools: await client.tools(),
  prompt: "List all tables in the 'Marketing' workspace and show the first 10 rows of the 'Campaigns' table.",
  stopWhen: stepCountIs(10),
});

console.log(text);
await client.close();
Pass the session's MCP URL and headers to your agent and run a Retable request
SETUP GUIDE

Connect Retable API Tool with your Agent

1

Install Composio

typescript
npm install @composio/core @composio/openai openai
Install the Composio SDK, the OpenAI provider, and the OpenAI SDK
2

Create a Composio session

typescript
import OpenAI from "openai";
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from "@composio/openai";

const composio = new Composio({ provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider() });
const client = new OpenAI();

const session = await composio.create("your-user-id", { toolkits: ["retable"] });
const tools = await session.tools();
Initialize Composio with the OpenAI Responses provider and create a session scoped to Retable
3

Run Retable tools with your agent

typescript
let response = await client.responses.create({
  model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
  tools,
  input: [{ role: "user", content: "List all tables in the 'Marketing' workspace and show the first 10 rows of the 'Campaigns' table." }],
});

while (response.output.some((o) => o.type === "function_call")) {
  const outputs = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(session, response.output);
  response = await client.responses.create({
    model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools,
    previous_response_id: response.id,
    input: outputs,
  });
}

console.log(response.output_text);
Send a request, execute the Retable tool calls through the session, and print the final answer

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes, Retable requires you to configure your own API key credentials. Once set up, Composio handles secure credential storage and API request handling for you.

Yes! Composio's Tool Router enables agents to use multiple toolkits. Learn more.

Yes. Composio is SOC 2 Type II compliant and is built to keep your Retable connection and credentials secure. OAuth tokens and API keys are encrypted, and sensitive customer data is protected at rest and in transit.

Composio also undergoes independent security testing and continuously monitors its systems for security threats. You can review the latest reports and policies in the Composio Trust Center.

Composio maintains and updates all toolkit integrations automatically, so your agents always work with the latest API versions.

Create the key in your Retable account settings, then paste it once on Composio's connection page. Composio stores it encrypted and uses it only for the Retable actions your agent runs. Nobody else in your workspace can read it, and you can revoke it inside Retable at any time.

When you connect a Retable account through Composio, every action runs under that account, so anything the agent creates, sends, or changes shows up in Retable as done by you. Keep an approval step in your prompt for actions with side effects, such as sending or deleting, and have the agent draft first.

Whatever the credentials you connect allow inside Retable. If Retable lets you scope a key to specific permissions, create a scoped one so the agent can only do what you intend. You can revoke the key inside Retable at any time.

Yes. Composio supports multiple connected accounts for the same app, and that works in Claude, ChatGPT, or any other assistant you connect through Composio. Give each Retable connection a name such as work or personal, and the assistant uses the one you mention in the request. Each account keeps its own credentials and nothing is merged.

The connection stops working the moment Retable rejects the old key. Create a new key in Retable and reconnect the account from the Composio dashboard or by asking your agent to reconnect Retable. Nothing else changes.

Composio's free plan includes 100,000 tool calls per month with no credit card, which covers most personal Retable use. Paid plans add higher limits and team features. Your Retable plan and its API limits still apply as usual.

Built-in connectors usually give one AI access to a limited set of apps. Many people use Composio because it lets their AI connect to more apps than it normally supports, or connect to multiple accounts for the same app (e.g. connect Claude to multiple Retable accounts).

With Composio, you connect Retable once and then use it across different AI assistants without setting it up separately in each one. Connect your apps to Composio once, then connect Composio to whichever AI you use, whether that's Claude, ChatGPT, Hermes, or your own custom assistant.
