Airtable for AI agents

Airtable is a spreadsheet-database hybrid for organizing projects, tasks and data with customizable views. Teams across functions use it to track work and build lightweight apps. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

What agents do in Airtable.

01

Pull the rows from a base's table to check current project status before making updates.

02

02 · ACTIONS

27 Airtable actions, graded by risk.

  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Airtable through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('airtable', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_base
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_record
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Airtable connects.

Users sign in to Airtable on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Airtable OAuth app, or bring your own so the Airtable consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same Airtable connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Airtable and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Airtable with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Airtable to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Airtable actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Airtable?

Users sign in to Airtable on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Airtable OAuth app, or bring your own so the Airtable consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

Q03

Which Airtable actions can my agent take?

27 in total: 7 read, 17 write and 3 destructive, such as “create base”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Airtable?

Yes. Actions like “delete Record” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Airtable too?

Yes. The same Airtable connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
