The Airtable MCP Server is a tool based on the Model Context Protocol. It connects AI models to Airtable, allowing them to create, list, and search records within your databases.
To get started, clone the project repository and install its dependencies. You must configure your Airtable API key as an environment variable before starting the server.
Its key features include managing bases and tables, such as listing them and viewing schemas. For records, it supports creation, listing, and search with filtering and pagination. It emphasizes security through API key management, rate limiting, and input validation. For developers, it offers TypeScript support, logging, and a testing suite.
Use cases involve automating Airtable data tasks, integrating Airtable with AI systems for enhanced interaction, and enabling custom data operations for applications.
Prerequisites are Node.js (v16 or higher), a package manager like npm, an Airtable account, and an API key. The server is designed with security measures in place. Contributions are welcome via forking the repository and submitting pull requests.
