Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Bases, tables, and records in Airtable: list, search, create, update, delete.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Docs, sheets & office work

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gridbase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/gridbase",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add gridbase -- npx -y @reneturcios/gridbase mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gridbase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/gridbase",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "gridbase": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/gridbase",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Gridbase safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 5 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

gridbase

gridbase is a workbench for Airtable. It walks a base the way a person would: first the list of bases a token can reach, then the tables inside one base and the fields and views each table declares, then the records themselves — listed, filtered by formula, searched by text, or fetched one at a time. The same surface writes back: records can be created, updated, and deleted, tables and fields can be created and renamed, and comments can be attached to records and read again. One binary serves a command-line interface and a stdio MCP server.

An Airtable personal access token is required. Put it in the AIRTABLE_API_KEY environment variable; it is sent to the API as an Authorization: Bearer header and never appears in output. When the variable is missing, every call fails with an error that names it, before any request is made. The token needs the schema.bases:read and data.records:read scopes at minimum, plus the matching write scopes for the write tools.

Install

npx @reneturcios/gridbase bases

Or run the container image:

docker run -i -e AIRTABLE_API_KEY ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/gridbase

The container defaults to the MCP server (see below). Pass CLI arguments to use it as a CLI instead.

CLI

export AIRTABLE_API_KEY="pat..."

gridbase bases gridbase tables appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --detail full gridbase describe appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX gridbase records appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --max 25 --filter "{Status}='Open'" gridbase search appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX "quarterly report" gridbase get appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX recXXXXXXXXXXXXXX gridbase create appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX '{"Name":"New task","Status":"Open"}' gridbase update appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX '[{"id":"recXXXXXXXXXXXXXX","fields":{"Status":"Done"}}]' gridbase delete appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX recXXXXXXXXXXXXXX gridbase create-table appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Reports '[{"name":"Title","type":"singleLineText"}]' gridbase comment appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX recXXXXXXXXXXXXXX "Looks good" gridbase comments appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX recXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --page-size 10

gridbase --version

Each command prints the upstream JSON payload. Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 when a call fails (including a missing AIRTABLE_API_KEY or an API error), 2 for usage errors.

MCP server

One bin serves both faces. The mcp subcommand starts a stdio MCP server:

npx -y @reneturcios/gridbase mcp

MCP client configuration:

{

"mcpServers": { "gridbase": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/gridbase", "mcp"], "env": { "AIRTABLE_API_KEY": "pat..." } } } }

Tools
ToolInputWhat it returns
list_bases(none)Every accessible base with its ID, name, and permission level.
list_tablesbaseId (required), detailLevel (optional)Tables in the base, trimmed to the requested detail level.
describe_tablebaseId, tableId (required), detailLevel (optional)One table's fields and views.
list_recordsbaseId, tableId (required), maxRecords, filterByFormula (optional)Records from the table.
search_recordsbaseId, tableId, searchTerm (required), fieldIds, maxRecords (optional)Records whose field values contain the term.
get_recordbaseId, tableId, recordId (required)The single record.
create_recordbaseId, tableId, fields (required)The created record.
update_recordsbaseId, tableId, records (required)The updated records.
delete_recordsbaseId, tableId, recordIds (required)Deletion receipts for each record.
create_tablebaseId, name, fields (required), description (optional)The created table.
update_tablebaseId, tableId (required), name, description (optional)The updated table.
create_fieldbaseId, tableId, name, type (required), description, options (optional)The created field.
update_fieldbaseId, tableId, fieldId (required), name, description (optional)The updated field.
create_commentbaseId, tableId, recordId, text (required), parentCommentId (optional)The created comment.
list_commentsbaseId, tableId, recordId (required), pageSize, offset (optional)The record's comments, newest first.

Airtable offers no text-search endpoint, so search_records lists the table (bounded by maxRecords) and keeps the records whose field values contain the term, restricted to fieldIds when supplied. Schema reads trim the meta payload themselves: tableIdentifiersOnly keeps table IDs and names, identifiersOnly also reduces fields and views to IDs and names, and full (the default) returns everything.

Development

npm install

npm run build # tsc -> dist/ npm test # node test runner over test/*.test.ts, no network (fake fetch fixtures) npm run dev # run the CLI from source via tsx
