The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Airtable User MCP is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Automations-Project/airtable-user-mcp. Manage Airtable bases: schema, field CRUD, views, formula validation, extensions. This page covers its npm package (airtable-user-mcp).
Is the Airtable User MCP server safe to use?
Airtable User MCP scores 94 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Airtable User MCP server expose?
Airtable User MCP exposes 33 tools: get_base_schema, list_tables, get_table_schema, list_fields, list_views, and 28 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,459 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the Airtable User MCP server still maintained?
Airtable User MCP is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the Airtable User MCP server under?
Airtable User MCP declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
