Connect the Airtable API

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect the Airtable API with Modiva?

Create a Modiva account, generate an MCP key, and connect Airtable from your dashboard. Modiva runs the full OAuth flow and stores the encrypted token for you — no client secrets in your code.

What can I do with the Airtable API through Modiva?

Read & write Airtable records, browse base schemas and bulk-upsert rows across the bases you authorize. You get 9 typed tools grouped by resource (bases_, records_, upsert_), callable over REST or the MCP server.

Do I need to handle OAuth or token refresh myself?

No. Modiva handles the Airtable OAuth handshake, token storage (envelope-encrypted) and automatic refresh. You call a single unified endpoint.

Can an AI agent use the Airtable API?

Yes — that is the point. Modiva exposes Airtable as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, so agents like Claude, Cursor or your own app can read and act on Airtable through one endpoint.
