Airtable

This connector is optimized for AI agents. For the data replication connector, see Airtable.

The Airtable agent connector is a Python package that equips AI agents to interact with Airtable through strongly typed, well-documented tools. It's ready to use directly in your Python app, in an agent framework, or exposed through an MCP.

Airtable is a cloud-based platform that combines the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the power of a database. This connector provides access to bases, tables, and records for data analysis and workflow automation.

Example questions

The Airtable connector is optimized to handle prompts like these.

• List all my Airtable bases
• What tables are in my first base?
• Show me the schema for tables in a base
• List records from a table in my base
• Show me recent records from a table
• What fields are in a table?
• List records where Status is 'Done' in table tblXXX
• Find records created last week in table tblXXX
• Show me records updated in the last 30 days in base appXXX

Unsupported questions

The Airtable connector isn't currently able to handle prompts like these.

• Create a new record in Airtable
• Update a record in Airtable
• Delete a record from Airtable
• Create a new table
• Modify table schema

Installation

uv pip install airbyte-agent-sdk

Usage

Connectors can run in open source or hosted mode.

Open source

In open source mode, you provide API credentials directly to the connector.

from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.airtable import AirtableConnector
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.airtable.models import AirtableAuthConfig

connector = AirtableConnector(
    auth_config=AirtableAuthConfig(
        personal_access_token="<Airtable Personal Access Token. See https://airtable.com/developers/web/guides/personal-access-tokens>"
    )
)

@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@AirtableConnector.tool_utils
async def airtable_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
    return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

Hosted

In hosted mode, API credentials are stored securely in Airbyte Cloud. You provide your Airbyte credentials instead. If your Airbyte client can access multiple organizations, also set organization_id.

This example assumes you've already authenticated your connector with Airbyte. See Authentication to learn more about authenticating. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the hosted execution tutorial.

from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.airtable import AirtableConnector, AirbyteAuthConfig

connector = AirtableConnector(
    auth_config=AirbyteAuthConfig(
        workspace_name="<your_workspace_name>",
        organization_id="<your_organization_id>",  # Optional for multi-org clients
        airbyte_client_id="<your-client-id>",
        airbyte_client_secret="<your-client-secret>"
    )
)

@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@AirtableConnector.tool_utils
async def airtable_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
    return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})
