    Usage

    To use this server with the Claude Desktop app, add the following configuration to the "mcpServers" section of your claude_desktop_config.json:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "airtable": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
            "-y",
            "airtable-mcp-server"
          ],
          "env": {
            "AIRTABLE_API_KEY": "pat123.abc123"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    

    Replace pat123.abc123 with your Airtable personal access token. Your token should have at least schema.bases:read and data.records:read, and optionally the corresponding write permissions.
