Reverse-Engineered Airtable Internal API Exposed via MCP: 60+ Tools for Claude Code
A Reddit user (u/Aggravating_Bad4639) reverse-engineered Airtable's internal API after the official API refused to expose certain endpoints. The result is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude Code and 15+ AI-powered IDEs control over 60+ tools — far beyond the 14 tools in the official MCP.
What It Does
- Manage base views: create, update, delete views programmatically.
- Computed fields (Formulas): add and modify formula fields directly via Claude.
- Extensions: control free and open-source Airtable extensions.
- Full read/write to all Airtable tables, fields, and records.
How It Works
The MCP server runs entirely inside the user's browser or device. All requests originate from the user's machine, just like a normal Airtable client — no proxy or central server. Safety is ensured because the code is executed locally and no API keys are exposed to third parties.
Getting Started
The tool is an add-on to the official Airtable MCP. It does not replace the official one — it extends it. You can use it with Claude Code or any IDE that supports MCP (Cursor, Windsurf, JetBrains, etc.). Missing tools? The author invites feature requests via GitHub Issues.
Community Reception
Over 2000 users are already using it, according to the Reddit post. The tool is free and open source.
