Baserow vs MongoDB Atlas for AI agents
As of 11 Oct 2026, both reach L1 · Needs a person, and our agent got as far with each: with Baserow it was stopped at sign up (needs a human), with MongoDB Atlas it was stopped at sign up (blocked).
- Find: Docs for agents: llms.txt, an OpenAPI and an MCP server.
- Access: Can't sign up.
- Use: Work not reached.
- Pay: Payment not reached.
- Leave: Leaving not reached.
Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Needs a person to get in: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent read the user docs, the ReDoc API reference and llms.txt on its own, then stopped at signup: the documented account endpoint answers an error demanding a Cloudflare Turnstile token, and the web form shows the same visible challenge. With no account, the key page, the first call and the first piece of work in the API or the official MCP server were never reached. Paying stays card-only through the signed-in web UI once a person sets up the account; the UI also handles cancelling, though the docs name an API route for deleting the account.

Stopped at sign up: blocked. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Needs a person to get in: L1 · Needs a person. Sign-up stops at the web form's invisible reCAPTCHA, which answered INVALID_CAPTCHA and showed a generic server error; a retry got the same answer, and the CLI's own register page is blocked by robots.txt. With no account, verification, a key and a first call were never reached. Outside the account it reads well for agents: llms.txt, Markdown docs, a large OpenAPI spec and an official MCP server documented with CIMD-capable OAuth. Paying and leaving were never reached either, since no plan was ever started.

A check of our network and browser: It judged where our agent connects from and its browser, not a person. An agent that works on its own from a data center doesn't get through unless the owner lets signed agents in. How agents in a person's own browser fare isn't measured yet. Where we drive from.
