## Description

Creates a new row, or updates an existing row if one already matches the given `keyColumns` values, in a Coda table. Requires a doc ID and table ID — use the **List Docs** and **List Tables** actions to discover these. `keyColumns` identifies which column(s) uniquely identify a row (e.g. a name or external ID column) — use the **List Columns** action to look up column IDs; leave it blank to always insert a new row instead of matching an existing one. Column values are set via `columnValues`, a flat object mapping column ID or name to value. Use this action instead of **Create Rows** when a matching row might already exist and you want to avoid duplicates, or instead of **Update Row** when you don't already know the target row's ID. When upserting, if multiple rows match the specified key column(s), they will all be updated with the specified value. [See the documentation](https://coda.io/developers/apis/v1#operation/upsertRows)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `docId` | `string` | Yes | The ID of the Coda doc (e.g. AbCDeFGhij). Use the List Docs action to look up doc IDs. |
| `tableId` | `string` | Yes | The ID of the table (e.g. grid-pqRst-U). Use the List Tables action to look up table IDs for a doc. |
| `keyColumns` | `string[]` | No | Column ID(s) to use as upsert keys (e.g. c-abc123) — provide one or more column IDs, not a JSON array string. Rows matching all key column values will be updated instead of a new row being created. Leave blank to always insert a new row. Use the List Columns action to look up column IDs. |
| `disableParsing` | `boolean` | No | If true, the API will not attempt to parse the data in any way |
| `columnValues` | `object` | No | A flat object mapping column ID or name to the value to set on the row, e.g. { "c-abc123": "foo", "Status": "Done" }. Use the List Columns action to look up column IDs. |

)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({

  arguments: {
    docId: "Doc ID",
    tableId: "Table ID",
  },
