Give your assistant Airtable

Connect Airtable once and every tool above is callable from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client, behind the same server URL as 760+ other apps. Free to start.

Airtable MCP, answered.

No. That is the point of it. One Activepieces server exposes Airtable alongside every other piece you connect, so your client keeps a single connection.

Yes. Activepieces is open source and free to start, and the MCP server is included on every plan, from the free cloud tier to any self-hosted deployment.

Connect Airtable in Activepieces, enable the server under Settings → MCP Server, then paste your server URL into your client config. It authenticates over OAuth on first use.

It can call 15 tools, including Create Airtable Record, Find Airtable Record, Update Airtable Record, and chain them with steps in other apps inside the same run.

Connections use OAuth2 with limited scopes and are stored under 256-bit encryption, with no API to read them back, so an agent gets scoped access rather than your keys.
