Airtable MCP: Documentation

Updated:

Connection

Remote: https://mcp.airtable.com — a single endpoint, Streamable HTTP with an SSE fallback. Auth is OAuth: the agent gets access to the bases and tables the connecting Airtable account has rights to. Add it as a regular remote MCP server in Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other clients, no package install needed.

Tools

Base operations: list available bases and tables, fetch table schema (fields and types). Record operations: search and read records by filter, create new records, update and delete existing ones. The exact tool names are visible in the MCP client's capability list after connecting.

Agent flow

"Find all records in the Clients base with status Awaiting payment and show the amounts", "add a new record to the Leads table: name, phone and source", "update record 42 in the Orders table to Done".

Limits

The official server is cloud-based and requires an Airtable account with OAuth. If you need a local run without the cloud, or access via a personal token instead of OAuth, there's an open-source self-host server, domdomegg/airtable-mcp-server (454★, MIT) — a separate community project, not part of this seed.

Pricing

MCP is available on Airtable's free and paid plans; API request limits and record counts follow the account's plan.
