Airtable MCP Server

Why it got an A

Airtable's official server, run by Airtable at mcp.airtable.com/mcp. You connect to it over HTTPS and sign in with OAuth, or with a personal access token; nothing runs on your machine. Airtable's own support page says it works on all plans and that your access mirrors your Airtable role: Owner, Creator and Editor can read and update, Commenter and Read-only can only read. The one thing that costs it points is upkeep we can see: the public repo is the plugin that wires it up (skills plus a one-line config), and its last commit was 2026-07-21, so maintenance scores 10 of 25. The server code itself is closed, so that is a view of the plugin, not the service. Main caution: it can write, not just read. Creating records is limited to 10 per request, and the server can also create bases, so approve write calls by hand. For read-only use, give the token only the four read scopes above and pick the bases it may reach when you authorise. Calls count against your normal Airtable API rate limits, and what the model reads from your bases passes through Airtable and your AI client.
