Use the Airtable MCP server
in Claude

Read and write records across your Airtable bases from your AI. This guide connects Airtable to Claude (claude.ai and the Claude desktop app) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Live-probed · Security-scanned · OAuth sign-in

Setup: Airtable in Claude

Claude adds MCP servers via custom connectors in Settings. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Create a free gate gateway and connect Airtable to it from the verified directory (one click).
  2. Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors and click 'Add custom connector'.
  3. Name it 'gate' and paste your gateway URL, then approve the authorization.
  4. Ask Claude something Airtable can answer — the call runs through your gateway, with your rules applied and logged.

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Airtable connection works in Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Airtable exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything Claude did with Airtable — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Airtable passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
