Installation
Follow the instructions on install-mcp, which generates the right config for your MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, VS Code, and more).
You'll need an Airtable personal access token — create one here with scopes schema.bases:read and data.records:read (and optionally schema.bases:write, data.records:write, data.recordComments:read, data.recordComments:write), and access to the bases you want to use. It looks something like pat123.abc123 (but longer). Set it as AIRTABLE_API_KEY (replacing the placeholder in the generated config).
