Airtable MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that provides read and write access to Airtable databases. This server enables LLMs to inspect database schemas, then read and write records. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting productivity tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Airtable

before you install - you'll need

MCP_TRANSPORT

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

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

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

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

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · container (OCI image) - can be sandboxed away from your filesystem · Claude Desktop extension (.mcpb bundle)

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package airtable-mcp-server - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.domdomegg is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Airtable can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

Limitations (from the README)

[!WARNING] The HTTP transport has no built-in authentication, and binding to localhost or a private network is not a security boundary against browsers: a malicious website can use DNS rebinding to make a visitor's browser send requests to http://localhost:3000/mcp

What is Airtable?

How do I install Airtable?

Does Airtable run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
