Spreadsheet-style database for lightweight apps and trackers. Its official MCP server, available on all plans, lets AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor query bases, create and update records, and draft automations; a web API is also documented.
Airtable lists Free (1,000 records per base, up to 5 editors, 100 automation runs), Team ($20 per seat/month billed annually, $24 monthly; 50,000 records per base), Business ($45 annually, $54 monthly; 125,000 records per base) and custom-priced Enterprise Scale. Checked 2026-10-17. source ↗
Airtable's MCP server is available on all plans. Record creation is limited to 10 records per request, and MCP can create and update automation drafts, but turning an automation on is done in the Airtable UI. source ↗
How Airtable connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.

Airtable's docs also name: ChatGPT, Gemini.
Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.
