Analysis summary

Airtable MCP Server is an officially published MCP server from Airtable. Anomity scores its risk at 45 out of 100 (medium). It matches 1 dangerous capability combination.

Airtable's official server exposes bases, tables, and records so an agent can query structured operational data and create or update rows.

Declared capabilities are outbound network access, credential access, and database reads and writes over the base contents. Airtable's role in most organisations — the place a team put the thing that was too important for a spreadsheet and too small for a database — means bases often hold operational data with no schema review and no access review behind them. Scope a token to a single base, and prefer read access unless a workflow genuinely needs to write.

Why this entry scored 45 out of 100

This profile starts at the catalog's neutral base of 50. Because the entry is officially published, trust adjusts the score by -40. Declared high-risk capabilities add +20 (capped at +30). It matches 1 dangerous capability combination, which contributes additional severity weight. The clamped result is 45, placing it in the medium band.

Capabilities

Every capability the entry declares, with the security implication of each.

  • network:outbound Outbound network
    Can make outbound network requests. Required for hosted model providers and remote APIs; also the path for data exfiltration if combined with read access.
  • credentials:access Credentials access
    Reads provider API keys, OAuth tokens, or other secrets from the host keychain or environment.
  • database:read Database read
    Reads from connected databases. Useful for query and analytics agents; risky when combined with outbound network.
  • database:write Database write
    Writes to connected databases. High-impact; combined with outbound network is treated as exfiltration-class.
