Skill instructions

airtable-mcp Self-discovery Tools are fetched from the MCP server at runtime, so the CLI never has a hardcoded command list. Discover what's available: sh airtable-mcp tools human-readable list airtable-mcp tools --json machine-parseable list airtable-mcp <tool --help show flags and descriptions for a tool Run airtable-mcp tools before assuming a tool exists. Tool names, arguments, and output shapes can change between server releases without a CLI update. Install sh npm install -g @airtable/mcp-cli Auth The CLI needs an Airtable personal access token (PAT). Two paths: Environment variable (preferred for scripts/agents): sh export AIRTABLETOKEN=patxxx Interactive configure (stores token in ~/.airtable/cli.json with 0600 permissions): sh airtable-mcp configure Create tokens at https://airtable.com/create/tokens. Ensure the token has the scopes required by the tools being called. AIRTABLETOKEN takes precedence over saved profiles when no --profile flag is set. Never log or echo tokens. Qu
