Airtable MCP

Spreadsheet-database hybrid for agents

Give an AI client tools to search, read, create and update your Airtable bases, tables, fields and records. Create a personal access token at airtable.com/create/tokens, scope it to the bases and permissions you need (read vs write), set AIRTABLE_API_KEY, and the agent can query or update Airtable in natural language.

Install Airtable MCP

Paste into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airtable": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "airtable-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run in your terminal

claude mcp add airtable -- npx -y airtable-mcp-server

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airtable": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "airtable-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

After adding the server, fully restart your MCP client. Replace <placeholders> (tokens, paths) with your own values.

A personal access token can read/write your bases — scope it to only the bases needed, prefer read-only when you do not need writes, and keep it out of shared config.
