Airtable is such a useful tool, but it’s MCP support is really terrible - the default MCP server for it really struggles with large bases because it needs to manually paginate through records + doesn’t have any kind of real approval flow for record creation / modification / deletion, so you really can’t trust it.
So I built my own! I’m calling it better-airtable-mcp
It has 2 big, awesome features:
SQL query support (backed by DuckDB)
A preview & approval flow for record creation / modification / deletion (before it makes any changes it presents you with a URL where you can review and approve / reject the change)
It’s deployed and you can use it immediately. You can go to https://claude.ai/customize/connectors -> create new connector -> title: “Airtable”, URL: https://better-airtable-mcp.hackclub.com/mcp -> You’re live!
Almost entirely vibe coded! But I spent a lot of time using AI to structure the spec, etc. This is real software.
