# Connect the Airtable MCP server

> Connect Airtable's hosted MCP server to Spojit with OAuth or a personal access token to query, create, and update records across your bases.

Airtable hosts an MCP server that lets AI agents query, analyze, create, and update records, and work with base, table, and field structure. Connect it to Spojit to log records from a workflow, enrich rows with AI, or build a report from a base.

<Note>
  Spojit connects to this server through a [custom MCP server](/connectors/remote-mcp-servers/custom) connection, so you add it with **Add custom server** rather than from the connector catalog. Airtable maintains it and decides which tools it offers; see [Airtable's MCP server help article](https://support.airtable.com/docs/using-the-airtable-mcp-server) for the current list.
</Note>

## Before you start

* An Airtable account. MCP access is included in Airtable plans at no extra cost; standard API rate limits apply.
* Tools respect your base permissions: read-only collaborators cannot create or update records.
* On Enterprise plans, an admin may need to allow Spojit under **Settings > Integrations & development > Third party integration allowlist**.

## Server URL

```
https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp
```

## Connect in Spojit

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a custom server">
    Go to **Connections** and click **Add custom server**. Enter a **Name** such as `Airtable` and paste the **Server URL**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Keep Auto authentication">
    Leave **Authentication** on **Auto**, choose a visibility, and click **Save & connect**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose bases and approve">
    Airtable opens its authorization page. Choose the bases the connection may use and approve. Spojit marks the connection **Connected** and refreshes the token automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Alternative: a personal access token

Airtable also accepts a [personal access token](https://airtable.com/create/tokens). For read-only access, grant only `data.records:read`, `schema.bases:read`, `data.recordComments:read`, and `workspacesAndBases:read`. In Spojit choose **Token**, paste the token, keep **Header name** `Authorization` and **Prefix** `Bearer`, and click **Add**.

## Use it in a workflow

Add a **Connector** node, pick your Airtable server under **Custom Servers**, and choose **Agent Mode** or **Direct Mode**. See [Use a custom server in a workflow](/connectors/remote-mcp-servers/custom#use-a-custom-server-in-a-workflow).

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="A base is missing">
    Only the bases you granted during authorization are available. Click **Reconnect** on the connection and add the base.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Authorization is blocked by your organization">
    Your Enterprise admin restricts third-party integrations. Ask them to allow it under **Third party integration allowlist**.
  </Accordion>
