Airtable MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Airtable and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 104 Airtable actions (33 reads, 46 writes and 25 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Airtable credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Airtable's limits and records every call.

Set up

Connect Airtable in three steps.

  1. 01

    Add actionlake to Claude.

    Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.

    https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp
  2. 02

    Connect Airtable.

    Bearer token. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.

    • tokenAirtable personal access token (pat...) or OAuth access token
    account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "airtable" }
# free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
  3. 03

    Make the first call. Check before a write.

    Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, check validates the call and prices it, for free.

Capabilities

What an AI agent can do in Airtable.

104 actions in 1 area. Every one carries its effect, so a key can allow the reads and hold the rest.

Top actions

The Airtable API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 71 of Airtable's 79 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

The plan store

Ready-made plans for Airtable.

8 plans in the store. Install one and your agent runs it by name; the reply says which connections are still missing. A schedule can run a plan on a timetable. There are no triggers or webhooks, by design.

A destructive action runs only with confirm: true. Under the human policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

Questions

The Airtable MCP server, answered.

Is there an Airtable MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 104 Airtable actions, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Airtable.

What do I need to connect Airtable?

Airtable personal access token (pat...) or OAuth access token. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "airtable" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Airtable?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 25 Airtable actions are destructive, including delete a base, delete an enterprise user by id and remove a user from the enterprise. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

Will an AI agent use up my Airtable API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Airtable service file: 5 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (32 Airtable actions can be), which never reaches Airtable.

What does an Airtable action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (104 Airtable actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Airtable refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Which Airtable API does it cover?

The Airtable API v0 at api.airtable.com. It is built from Airtable's documentation as read on 19 September 2026. 104 actions in 1 area, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Airtable data, and where?

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Airtable credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

Which AI clients can use it?

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
