Streamline your Airtable contact management by integrating AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This workflow enables AI assistants to seamlessly read, create, search, and delete contact records, boosting efficiency and data accuracy.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow acts as a bridge between AI assistants and your Airtable contact database. Leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it allows AI models to interact with your data in real-time. The workflow is triggered by AI requests, enabling operations such as retrieving specific contact details, adding new contacts with essential information like name and email, searching for contacts using dynamic formulas, and even deleting records when necessary. It empowers your AI to act as a proactive contact manager, ensuring your data is always up-to-date and easily accessible.
This automation is designed for efficiency, allowing for rapid data manipulation and retrieval, making it ideal for teams that rely heavily on Airtable for customer relationship management.

How To Use
- Set up MCP Trigger: Configure the
MCP Server Triggernode with your specific webhook ID and desired path. This is the entry point for your AI requests. - Connect to Airtable: In the
Get Record,Create Record,Delete Record, andSearch Recordnodes, replaceYOUR_AIRTABLE_BASE_IDandYOUR_AIRTABLE_TABLE_IDwith your actual Airtable Base and Table IDs. Ensure your n8n instance has the necessary Airtable credentials configured. - Define Create Record Fields: In the
Create Recordnode, map the AI-generated outputs for 'Name', 'email', and 'Assignee' to the corresponding Airtable fields. You can also configure the 'Status' field with its available options. - Configure Search and Get Record: For
Get Record, ensure theidparameter is correctly mapped to receive the Record ID from the AI. ForSearch Record, map thefilterByFormulaparameter to accept AI-generated search criteria. - Connect Nodes: Wire the nodes sequentially based on the desired workflow logic. For example, the
MCP Server Triggercan directly lead toGet RecordorCreate Recordbased on the AI's intent. Use sticky notes to document and clarify the purpose of each node and the overall flow.
