# Airtable MCP server > Read and write Airtable bases, tables and records from your AI assistant, using your existing Airtable permissions. - Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/airtable - Connect: use the server's own URL `https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint. - Type: remote (Streamable HTTP) - Auth: OAuth sign-in - Category: [Databases & Backend](https://mcp.tc/c/databases) - Vendor: Airtable - Verified: yes, mcp.tc checked that this is the official server (https://mcp.tc/verify). It says who runs the server, not that it is safe. - Homepage: ## About Connects an AI assistant to your Airtable bases. You can search and analyze records, create and update records, create bases, work with interface pages and data, and look at the automations configured in a base. Comment and schema scopes are also requested through OAuth. It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at mcp.airtable.com. You sign in with Airtable through OAuth, and access mirrors the permissions your account already has. Your organization may need to allow-list the integration. Available on all Airtable plans. ## What it can do - Search and analyze records in your bases - Create new records and update existing ones - Create new bases in a workspace - Read data from interface pages - Create interfaces and interface pages - Inspect automations configured in a base ## Example prompts - "Show me all customers in my CRM base not contacted in the last 30 days." - "Add these 5 new tasks to my Project Tracker base." - "Update the status of task #123 to Complete." - "What automations are configured in my Project Tracker base?" ## Install ### Claude Code 1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http airtable https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp ``` 2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **airtable** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Airtable sign-in. Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one. ### Claude Desktop 1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**. 2. Name it **Airtable** and paste this URL: ```url https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp ``` 3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Airtable asks. Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too. ### claude.ai 1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you: [Add to claude.ai]() (opens connector settings) 2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp` and click **Add**. 3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Airtable asks. Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**. ### ChatGPT 1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**. 2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server. 3. Paste `https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Airtable to sign in. Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts. ### Cursor [Add to Cursor]() (opens Cursor) Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project): `mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "airtable": { "url": "https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp" } } } ``` Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in. ### VS Code [Install in VS Code]() (opens VS Code) Or from a terminal: ```bash code --add-mcp '{"name":"airtable","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp"}' ``` Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`: `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "airtable": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp" } } } ``` VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts. ### Devin Desktop 1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows): `mcp_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "airtable": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp" } } } ``` 2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked. Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers. ### Codex ```bash codex mcp add airtable --url https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp codex mcp login airtable ``` Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly: `config.toml`: ```toml [mcp_servers.airtable] url = "https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp" ``` ### Gemini CLI ```bash gemini mcp add --transport http airtable https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp ``` Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth airtable` to sign in. This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere. ### Any client Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file. ```json { "mcpServers": { "airtable": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp" } } } ``` Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE. Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp`. ## Details - Server version: 0.1.0 - Last checked: 2026-10-03 (reachable, asks for credentials) - Listed: 2026-10-03 - Updated: 2026-10-03 --- Source: https://mcp.tc/i/airtable (mcp.tc is an independent directory, not affiliated with this server's publisher).
