Connect a Coda workspace as a Source so Dosu can read your Docs and pages and answer from them. This page covers what connecting Coda gives you, its availability, how to connect it, and what Dosu does with the content.
What connecting Coda gives you#
Once connected, Coda becomes a read Source inside a Library. Dosu indexes the Docs and pages in the workspace so their content can appear in answers across your Agents, in Chat, and for coding agents that read Dosu through the MCP Server. For an engineering org that keeps runbooks, specs, or onboarding material in Coda, this brings that knowledge into the same place as your code and chat history instead of leaving it siloed.
Coda is a read-only Source. Dosu indexes from it but does not edit your Coda workspace as part of normal Source syncing.
Availability and prerequisites#
- Beta, and not yet generally available in the UI. Coda is built but gated. It may not appear for your organization yet.
- Teams plan. Coda requires the Teams plan. For plan details, see the pricing page or contact Dosu.
- A Library to hold the Source. Sources live inside a Library, so open or create one first at Libraries.
- Access to the Coda workspace and the ability to generate a Coda API token for it.
How to connect#
Sources are added inside a Library, not from a separate data sources page.
- Open or create a Library at Libraries. To connect Sources while creating one, use create and connect.
- Add a Source and choose Coda as the provider.
- Authorize the connection with a Coda API token. Dosu uses that token to read the workspace.
- Select the Coda workspace you want to index. Dosu then begins indexing its Docs and pages.
If Coda does not appear as an option, it is likely gated for your organization (see Availability above).
What Dosu does with it#
- Indexes Docs and pages. Dosu reads the Docs and canvas pages in the connected workspace and makes them searchable to inform answers and feed to coding agents.
- Keeps the index current. Dosu syncs Coda on a recurring schedule (polling, roughly every 5 minutes), so edits in Coda are picked up without a manual refresh.
- Organizes what it ingests. Imported pages are sorted into Topics within the Library, alongside your other Sources.
Notes and limits#
- Canvas pages only. Dosu imports Canvas pages. Embeds and sync pages are not supported.
- Read-only. Coda content is read into Dosu and is not modified by Source syncing.
- Publishing back to Coda is a separate feature. Beyond reading, Dosu can also publish a Document out to Coda and keep that page in sync. That is part of generating and maintaining Documents, not part of connecting Coda as a Source.
