airtable

Use this skill when you need to work with airtable through its generated async Python app, call its MCP-backed functions from code, or inspect available functions with the mcp-skill CLI.

Authentication

This app can use the MCP client's built-in OAuth flow when the server requires it. In most cases, the default constructor is enough. Tokens are persisted to 
~/.mcp-skill/auth/
so subsequent runs reuse the same credentials automatically.
python
app = AirtableApp()
If you need a custom OAuth provider, pass it via the 
auth
argument:
python
app = AirtableApp(auth=my_oauth_provider)

Dependencies

This skill requires the following Python packages:
  • mcp-skill
Install with uv:
bash
uv pip install mcp-skill
Or with pip:
bash
pip install mcp-skill

Python Usage

Use the generated app directly in async Python code:
python
import asyncio
from airtable.app import AirtableApp


async def main():
    app = AirtableApp()
    result = await app.ping()
    print(result)


asyncio.run(main())

Async Usage Notes

  • Every generated tool method is 
    async
    , so call it with 
    await
    .
  • Use these apps inside an async function, then run that function with 
    asyncio.run(...)
    if you are in a script.
  • If you forget 
    await
    , you will get a coroutine object instead of the actual tool result.
  • Be careful when mixing this with other event-loop environments such as notebooks, web servers, or async frameworks.

Discover Functions with the CLI

Use the CLI to find available apps, list functions on an app, and inspect a function before calling it:
bash
uvx mcp-skill list-apps
uvx mcp-skill list-functions airtable
uvx mcp-skill inspect airtable ping
Important: Add 
.agents/skills
to your Python path so imports resolve correctly:
python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, ".agents/skills")
from airtable.app import AirtableApp
Or set the 
PYTHONPATH
environment variable:
bash
export PYTHONPATH=".agents/skills:$PYTHONPATH"
Preferred: use 
uv run
 (handles dependencies automatically):
bash
PYTHONPATH=.agents/skills uv run --with mcp-skill python -c "
import asyncio
from airtable.app import AirtableApp

async def main():
    app = AirtableApp()
    result = await app.ping()
    print(result)

asyncio.run(main())
"
Alternative: use 
python
directly (install dependencies first):
bash
pip install mcp-skill
PYTHONPATH=.agents/skills python -c "
import asyncio
from airtable.app import AirtableApp

async def main():
    app = AirtableApp()
    result = await app.ping()
    print(result)

asyncio.run(main())
