Question 1

What does the Airtable MCP integration do?

Accepted Answer

The Airtable integration on the Agen MCP gateway exposes Airtable to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol. Database management, custom workflow creation, data organization, and flexible spreadsheet-database hybrid automation. It lets agents call Airtable actions like List bases, Get base schema, List records, and Get record without writing custom integration code.

Question 2

Which Airtable actions are available through MCP?

Accepted Answer

The Agen Airtable MCP connector exposes 7 scoped actions including List bases, Get base schema, List records, and Get record. Each action is mapped to a specific Airtable OAuth scope so agents only get the permissions they need for the task.

Question 3

How does Agen connect AI agents to Airtable?

Accepted Answer

Agen acts as the MCP gateway between your AI agents and Airtable. Agents authenticate to the gateway, the gateway authenticates to Airtable using scoped OAuth credentials, and every call is brokered through the gateway so it can apply policy and capture audit logs.

Question 4

How is access to Airtable controlled and audited?

Accepted Answer

Access to the Airtable integration is governed by Agen policies. Admins can restrict which agents or users can call Airtable tools, scope permissions per action, and review a full audit log of every call. Learn more about access control and policies.
