Installation

Step 1: Create an Airtable personal access token by clicking here. Details:

Name: Anything you want e.g. 'Airtable MCP Server Token'.
Scopes: schema.bases:read, data.records:read, and optionally schema.bases:write, data.records:write, data.recordComments:read, and data.recordComments:write.
Access: The bases you want to access. If you're not sure, select 'Add all resources'.

Keep the token handy, you'll need it in the next step. It should look something like pat123.abc123 (but longer).
