Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Airtable every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: AIRTABLE_API_KEY (Airtable personal access token (e.g., pat123.abc123). Create at https://airtable.com/create/tokens/new with scopes: schema.bases:read, data.records:read, and optionally schema.bases:write and data.records:write.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Airtable — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Airtable?

Airtable runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package airtable-mcp-server was installed 2 515 times last week.

How do I connect Airtable?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls airtable-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Airtable?

The npm package airtable-mcp-server was installed 2 515 times in the last week. Week over week that is +200%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Airtable open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 457 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
