Prerequisites

1. Create an Airtable MCP Server

Use the following endpoint to create a new remote Airtable MCP server instance:

Request

from klavis import Klavis
from klavis.types import McpServerName, ConnectionType

klavis_client = Klavis(api_key="<YOUR_API_KEY>")

# Create an Airtable MCP server instance
airtable_server = klavis_client.mcp_server.create_server_instance(
    server_name=McpServerName.AIRTABLE,
    user_id="<YOUR_USER_ID>",
    platform_name="<YOUR_PLATFORM_NAME>",
)

Response

{
  "serverUrl": "https://airtable-mcp-server.klavis.ai/mcp/?instance_id=<instance-id>",
  "instanceId": "<instance-id>",
  "oauthUrl": "https://api.klavis.ai/oauth/airtable/authorize?instance_id=<instance-id>"
}
serverUrl specifies the endpoint of the Airtable MCP server, which you can connect with the MCP client of your application.
instanceId is used for authentication and identification of your server instance. After you complete the next steps, this token allows the MCP server to access user’s private Airtable information.

2. Implement OAuth Authorization

Redirect users to the OAuth authorization flow:

import webbrowser

webbrowser.open(airtable_server.oauth_url)

You can also specify scope and redirect_url in the authUrl, and we also support white-label. Check the API reference for more details.
