Official

It signs in with OAuth or a personal access token and can create and update records, fields and draft automations; read-only access is possible by limiting token scopes.

Safety check

  • Pass

    Publisher verified

    Endpoint on airtable.com, documented on airtable.com/developers; Anthropic's directory lists the connector as made by Airtable with the same URL.

  • Pass

    Auth model

    OAuth (admins can allowlist by OAuth client ID) or a personal access token; access follows the user's base permissions. Enterprise admins can set up a centralized read-only connection through a service account.

  • Flag

    Write and delete access

    Default connection can create and update records, fields, tables and bases, and edit/delete draft automations. Airtable documents a read-only setup by granting only data.records:read, schema.bases:read, data.recordComments:read and workspacesAndBases:read scopes on a token.

  • Pass

    Tool-description injection scan

    Read the tool descriptions and example prompts on Airtable's tools reference (and a Jev screen of it); nothing addressed to an AI beyond usage guidance such as calling get_create_automation_instructions first. Record content is untrusted input.

  • Unknown

    Repo maintenance

    Hosted by Airtable; no public server repository found (Airtable/airtable-mcp-cli is a CLI, last push 2026-08-07).
