Airtable

Read and update your Airtable bases in plain language.

This community skill connects the assistant to your Airtable bases: list records, filter, create and update rows — "add this lead to my CRM table" becomes a sentence instead of clicks. Needs a personal access token from Airtable (free).

Install Airtable

You need: an AI app that supports skills (pick yours above) · Node.js (LTS) — one-time install from nodejs.org. Check with `node -v` in a terminal. · An API key (AIRTABLE_API_KEY) — free tier available, get it at https://airtable.com/create/tokens

Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config in Claude Desktop (this opens claude_desktop_config.json) and merge this block, then fully restart the app:

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

Before saving, replace YOUR_AIRTABLE_API_KEY with your key from airtable.com/create/tokens (free tier).
