airtable（Airtable 表格协作）

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.

app = AirtableApp()

If you need a custom OAuth provider, pass it via the auth argument:

app = AirtableApp(auth=my_oauth_provider)

Dependencies

This skill requires the following Python packages:

• mcp-skill

Install with uv:

uv pip install mcp-skill

Or with pip:

pip install mcp-skill

Python Usage

Use the generated app directly in async Python code:

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:

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:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, ".agents/skills")
from airtable.app import AirtableApp

Or set the PYTHONPATH environment variable:

export PYTHONPATH=".agents/skills:$PYTHONPATH"

Preferred: use uv run (handles dependencies automatically):

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):

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())
"
