Airtable MCP Server by felores

Build an Airtable base from a conversation — create tables, add fields one at a time, then read, search, write and delete the records inside them.

LABSCO SUMMARY

Creating the schema is the part most Airtable integrations get wrong, and this one slows it down deliberately.

Complex fields each carry their own required options — precision on a number, choices with colours on a select, formats on a date — and building a whole table in one call is where that usually falls over; here fields are added individually and verified as you go, which is why the repository ships a system prompt to keep the model doing it that way. The token scopes decide what is possible: without schema.bases:write the table and field tools cannot run at all, so grant them at creation rather than debugging permission errors later.

What it is

A schema-and-records surface over the Airtable API. Alongside record operations it creates and alters tables and fields, and it is written to build a table in stages rather than in one large call.

What you get

  • list_bases shows every base the token can reach, and list_tables enumerates a base's tables
  • create_table makes a table with an initial field set and description; update_table renames it or changes the description
  • create_field and update_field add and modify fields one at a time — the staged approach the guide recommends for anything beyond plain text
  • Field types documented with what each one needs: singleLineText, multilineText, email, phoneNumber, richText and url take no options, while number, currency and percent need precision, rating needs a maximum and an icon, date and dateTime need formats, and singleSelect and multipleSelects need their choices with names and colours
  • list_records with a max_records cap, get_record by id, and search_records matching a value in a named field
  • create_record, update_record and delete_record for individual rows
  • A system prompt and project knowledge file in the repository, meant to be loaded into a Claude project so the model follows the staged build pattern

Requirements

An Airtable personal access token, created at Airtable's Builder Hub with the scopes data.records:read, data.records:write, schema.bases:read and schema.bases:write, and scoped to the workspace or bases it should reach. It goes in AIRTABLE_API_KEY. Node.js 18 or higher; it runs as npx @felores/airtable-mcp-server. MIT.

Setup effort

One command plus a key — npx @felores/airtable-mcp-server, then supply credentials
