# Create View Describe how to create a new view for a NocoDB table. This plugin's MCP tools are data tools and do not create views, so guide the user through the NocoDB web interface -- or hand the schema work to the **nocodb-dev** plugin (`/nocodb-dev:create-view`), which builds views over MCP on Cloud / licensed servers and over REST otherwise. ## Arguments Parse from "$ARGUMENTS": - `table-name` (required): Name or ID of the table - `view-type` (required): grid, kanban, gallery, form, calendar, timeline, gantt, map, or list - `title` (optional): Name for the new view ## Process 1. Run `getTablesList` to resolve the table name. 2. Run `getTableSchema` to list existing views and columns. 3. Based on view type, recommend: - **Grid**: default working view, suggest useful filters and sorts - **Kanban**: identify SingleSelect columns suitable for grouping - **Gallery**: identify Attachment columns for cover images - **Form**: suggest which fields to include as required - **Calendar / Timeline**: identify Date/DateTime columns (a start and, optionally, an end) - **Gantt**: identify start and end Date columns - **Map**: identify a geographic (Geometry) column - **List**: identify the linked tables to nest 4. Provide step-by-step instructions for creating the view in the NocoDB UI. 5. If the user wants it scripted, point to `/nocodb-dev:create-view` (MCP `createView`, or the `POST /api/v3/meta/bases/{baseId}/tables/{tableId}/views` curl recipe) -- there is no `nc` command. ## Example Usage ``` /create-view Deals kanban "Deal Pipeline" /create-view Contacts form "New Contact Form" /create-view Events calendar "Event Schedule" ```
