A Model Context Protocol server that provides tools for programmatically managing Airtable bases, tables, fields, and records through Claude Desktop or other MCP clients.
  1. Log in to Airtable

    • Open airtable.com and sign in with the account that will own the API token.
  2. Open the Personal Access Token (Builder Hub) page

    • Go to the Builder Hub / Personal access tokens area (Airtable's "Create tokens" page).
  3. Create a new personal access token

    • Click to create a new token.
    • Give the token a descriptive name (e.g., "FastMCP — Airtable MCP").
    • For scopes, select:
      • data.records:read
      • data.records:write
      • schema.bases:read
      • schema.bases:write
  4. Limit access to the correct workspace/bases

    • When prompted, select the workspace or specific bases you want the token to access.
    • Confirm any other token settings and create the token.
  5. Copy and securely store the token

    • After creation, copy the token value immediately — it will be shown only once.
    • Keep it secure (do not commit it to source control).
  6. Open the FastMCP connection interface and click “Install Now”

    • In the FastMCP connection UI use the provided “Install Now” button for adding environment variables.
  7. Add the AIRTABLE_API_KEY environment variable

    • In the FastMCP connection form/field for environment variables, create an entry:
      • Key: AIRTABLE_API_KEY
      • Value: (paste the personal access token you copied)
    • Save the connection / environment changes.
  8. Verify the configuration

    • Start or restart the MCP (or Claude Desktop) so it picks up the new ENV.
    • Test the Airtable MCP server (for example, run the command: “List all bases”) to confirm the token and permissions are working.
  9. Security best-practice

    • Treat the token like a password — rotate it if it’s ever exposed and restrict the workspace/bases and scopes to the minimum required.
