Airtable MCP

Airtable's own MCP server connects your agent to your Airtable bases. Airtable hosts it, and it works within your Airtable permissions: ask questions about your data, create and update records, or have your agent build the bases, tables, interfaces and automations behind the work. What you can do with it - Search and analyze records, with filters, sorting and keyword search - Create, update and delete records, and undo an eligible change it made - Create bases, tables and fields, and rename them or change a formula - Build interfaces and pages, such as dashboards, kanban boards, calendars and record lists - Read records from interface pages, even when you only have interface access - Fill out and submit forms on your behalf - List, create and update automations, which arrive switched off for you to review How it connects Airtable hosts the server at https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp. Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini have ready-made Airtable connectors, and Claude Code, Cursor and other agents add the address directly. You sign in with Airtable once and choose which bases, workspaces and interfaces it can reach; change that any time under Integrations, then Third-party integrations. A personal access token works too, for scripts and command-line setups. Read-only when you want it Use a personal access token with only the read scopes (data.records:read, schema.bases:read, data.recordComments:read and workspacesAndBases:read), and your agent can view data but can't create, update or delete anything. Good to know - It's on every Airtable plan, including Free, at no extra cost. Calls count against Airtable's normal API rate limits. - Your agent gets exactly your permissions: with read-only or comment access to a base, it can only read. - It creates up to 10 records per request. - Automations it builds stay off until you turn them on in Airtable. It can't edit Script actions, add interface filters or change an existing interface. - If your organization restricts third-party integrations, an Airtable admin may need to allowlist it first.
