Keboola vs NocoDB: at a glance
What is Keboola?
Keboola turns on Branched Storage for all stacks from November 2.
Keboola's recent releases split between hygiene and AI-agent safety. Branched Storage, which gives development branches their own isolated storage, is enabled on all stacks from November 2, with some exceptions handled directly. The MCP server's query_data tool is now read-only, new data app images fix security vulnerabilities, emailing API tokens is being retired, and idle Snowflake and BigQuery workspaces will be deactivated from 9 November. The UI also gained dark mode.
What is NocoDB?
NocoDB 2026.10.1 fits classic apps to phones and puts rate limits on MCP.
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.
Keboola vs NocoDB: editorial side-by-side
Keboola
5.0ANALYTICS
Keboola turns on Branched Storage for all stacks from November 2.
◆ Current state
Keboola's recent releases split between hygiene and AI-agent safety. Branched Storage, which gives development branches their own isolated storage, is enabled on all stacks from November 2, with some exceptions handled directly. The MCP server's query_data tool is now read-only, new data app images fix security vulnerabilities, emailing API tokens is being retired, and idle Snowflake and BigQuery workspaces will be deactivated from 9 November. The UI also gained dark mode.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is limiting what agents, stale resources and older images can touch while making isolated development the default. The pattern is deliberate cleanup ahead of wider agent usage, not new surface area, and changes arrive with fixed dates.
◆ Prediction
Expect follow-up notes as Branched Storage reaches the remaining projects, plus more guardrails around the MCP server and Kai, such as tighter scopes or approvals.
NocoDB
5.0ANALYTICS
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.
