Use cases
- 01Querying and updating Airtable records from Claude Code

MCP support
The repository auto-configures the official Airtable MCP server at mcp.airtable.com/mcp through .mcp.json, so the plugin installs it together with the skills.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEAirtable
Airtable is the database and operations layer for your agents — whether running product, marketing, sales, ops, HR, or a custom business app. It combines structured data with multiplayer visual surfaces (grid, kanban, calendar, gallery, timeline) humans and agents share — plus sync integrations to Jira, Salesforce, Zendesk, Google Drive, Databricks, and the rest of your stack, all backed by enterprise governance.
This repo is the canonical, official home for the plugins, skills, and other artifacts we ship to make Airtable as fluent to agents as it already is to builders and users. Today that ships as an installable plugin for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, and as a standalone collection of skills installable via the skills CLI for any agent that consumes agentskills.io–format skills.
What's inside
The bundled skills live under plugins/airtable/skills/, and the official Airtable MCP server (mcp.airtable.com/mcp) is auto-wired via .mcp.json.
Install
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add airtable/skills
/plugin install airtable@airtable-skills
For local testing from a clone:
/plugin marketplace add /path/to/this/repo
/plugin install airtable@airtable-skills
Codex
codex plugin marketplace add airtable/skills
Then enable the plugin via the Codex TUI's plugins menu, or by adding to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[plugins."airtable@airtable-skills"]
enabled = true
If you'd rather wire the MCP server manually instead of via the plugin, add the following to ~/.codex/config.toml (the plugin handles this automatically when enabled — this is just an escape hatch):
[[mcp_servers]]
name = "airtable"
type = "http"
url = "https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp"
Cursor
Browse the Cursor Marketplace or add the plugin from the Customize panel in the sidebar. In the editor you can also run /add-plugin.
To test locally from a clone before it's live in the marketplace, symlink or copy the plugin into Cursor's local plugins directory:
ln -s "$(pwd)/plugins/airtable" ~/.cursor/plugins/local/airtable
Cursor picks up plugins under ~/.cursor/plugins/local automatically.
Standalone skills (any agent)
For OpenCode, Pi, Gemini CLI, or any other agent that consumes Agent Skills:
# All skills
npx skills add airtable/skills
# A specific skill
npx skills add airtable/skills --skill airtable-filters
Or download the latest tagged release zip from GitHub Releases.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
