Airtable MCP server

Airtable is where many teams keep their projects, content calendars, inventories and lightweight databases. Through Flowplane an AI assistant can look at the bases you shared, their tables and fields, and read their records. It can add, update and delete records, and each change waits for your approval by default.

What your assistant can do in Airtable

5 tools that read and 3 that change something in Airtable. Reads are allowed; a change marked “asks first” waits for the person’s approval by default, and your workspace’s rules decide the rest.

How it connects

Sign-in

Each person signs in with their own Airtable account and, on Airtable’s consent screen, picks the workspaces and bases Flowplane may use. The assistant sees only those. There is no key to paste, and Flowplane keeps the login sealed; the assistant never sees it.

In Flowplane: In the Flowplane console, add Airtable, sign in with Airtable and pick the bases to share.

MCP

Airtable and MCP

Airtable runs an official hosted MCP server of its own (mcp.airtable.com). Flowplane does not pass that one through: it talks to Airtable’s REST API directly with its own tools, so there is nothing to install or host.

FAQ

Questions

What can the assistant change in Airtable?
Records only: it can add, update and delete them, at most ten per call, and each change waits for your approval by default. Updates change only the cells sent, never clear the rest. Deleting cannot be undone, so it waits for your approval by default. Creating tables and fields, comments and webhooks are not offered.
Which bases can the assistant see?
Only the workspaces and bases picked on Airtable’s consent screen when you signed in. To add a base, sign in again and pick it.
Which AI assistants can use Airtable through Flowplane?
Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot and Mistral Le Chat, and any other client that supports remote MCP servers with sign-in. They all reach Airtable through the same Flowplane address.
What does it cost?
Free for one person, with up to three apps and five assistants. Personal Pro is €9 a month including VAT; companies start at €99 a month for ten active users. Prices are indicative; see the pricing page.
