# Your Airtable bases. Read by your agent.

Source: https://corespeed.io/integrations/airtable

Connect Airtable to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP agent through CoreSpeed. Your agent lists the bases your account can open, reads a table's fields and views, and filters its records with an Airtable formula to answer a question or draft a summary. It uses your own Airtable account, and creating or changing a record is a separate call.

## Set up an agent

Give your agent this line: `set up https://corespeed.io/SKILL.md (read it raw, e.g. with curl)`

It fetches the skill at https://corespeed.io/SKILL.md, adds the CoreSpeed MCP server, signs you in (or up), and keeps the skill for next time. Connect Airtable after setup. Access follows the connected account and its permissions. Create an account: https://app.corespeed.io/sign-up

## Ask the base. Get the short answer

Your agent finds the base, reads the table's fields, and filters the records that answer your question.

You ask your agent: "Open the Customer requests base in Airtable. List the open requests with more than five votes and draft a summary for planning. Do not change any records."

It calls CoreSpeed:

- `airtable__list_bases`: ok, 312 ms
- `airtable__list_tables`: ok, 284 ms
- `airtable__list_records`: ok, 447 ms

It reads from: Airtable.

### Planning summary: Three requests lead.

Three open requests have more than five votes. Single sign-on leads with twelve.

**Most asked for**

- SSO with Okta, 12 votes.
- CSV export for invoices, 8 votes.

**Worth a look**

- Audit log export, 6 votes.

## From a table of records to a short answer

Requests you can make once Airtable is connected. The data is fictional.

## Keep your agent. Bring your work

One CoreSpeed account, across compatible agents.

1. **Set up CoreSpeed**: Give your agent the setup line. It adds CoreSpeed and signs you in.
2. **Connect Airtable**: Authorize the account and the content you need.
3. **Start with one task**: Ask for a summary, a brief, or a draft. Review the answer.

## Questions

### Which bases can my agent see?

Only the bases your connected Airtable account can open. Each base keeps the permission level Airtable gives that account.

### Can it change the schema of a base?

No. It reads tables, fields and views, and it creates, updates or deletes records. It does not add tables or fields.

### Does this send or change anything on its own?

No. These examples read context and draft a result. Sending or changing a record is a separate tool call, which approvals can hold for a person. How approvals work: https://corespeed.io/docs/approvals

### Do I have to switch agents?

No. CoreSpeed adds tools to the agent you already use: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another MCP client. Each one signs in once.

### Can my agent access every account in our organization?

No. Access follows your CoreSpeed identity, each connection's visibility, and the app's own permissions. Personal connections stay private.

### Does this work without connecting an account?

No. Connect the app's account first; your CoreSpeed workspace shows what each app needs. The examples on this page use fictional data. All connectors: https://corespeed.io/docs/connectors
