Overview

Airtable MCP is the connector Airtable hosts for AI agents. Once you sign in and pick which bases to share, your agent can search and analyse records, add and update them, create bases and tables, build interface pages and draft automations, always within your Airtable permissions. There is nothing to install: you add one web address to your agent. It suits teams and individuals who track projects, content or customers in Airtable.

It is Airtable's own hosted connector on every plan, and you choose which bases and workspaces the agent can reach when you sign in.

Good to know

You keep a project tracker or content calendar in Airtable and want answers from it without building views by hand. Connect the server, sign in, and ask your agent to find, count or update records in the bases you shared.

Limits

  • The agent can change records, tables and draft automations wherever your Airtable role allows. Share only the bases you need, or use a read-only connection with read scopes.
  • Creating records is limited to 10 per request, and calls count toward Airtable's API rate limits. Turning an automation on, and editing existing interfaces, still happen in Airtable itself.
