Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Airtable MCP Server and the standard Airtable API?

The server wraps the Airtable API for use with the Model Context Protocol, making it accessible to MCP-compatible AI models (like Claude) without custom integration code.

What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js v16 or higher, npm or yarn, and a valid Airtable API key.

Where are data and configuration stored?

Data stays in Airtable; the server holds no persistent data. Configuration is set via environment variables in a `.env` file.

What are the known limits?

Rate limiting defaults to 5 requests per minute (configurable), maximum 100 records per request, and a 30-second request timeout.

What transports or authentication does the server use?

The server uses MCP stdio transport for local communication. Authentication is via an Airtable API key passed as an environment variable.
