# Airtable Schema Export Skill
## Purpose
This skill covers running `airtable-export-schema` to dump an Airtable base's full schema — tables, fields (with types and descriptions), and views — to JSON and/or Markdown.
## Direct Airtable Access via MCP
If the user wants Claude to **directly read or modify Airtable data**, use an Airtable MCP server instead:
```
/plugin install airtable@claude-plugins-official
```
The official plugin bundles Airtable's hosted MCP server (OAuth or PAT, nothing to run locally) and is the only one that can read **Interface pages** and **create whole bases**.
The community [`airtable-mcp-server`](https://github.com/domdomegg/airtable-mcp-server) by domdomegg is a self-hosted alternative (run via `npx` or its HTTP transport, PAT auth only) and is the one that can **delete records** and work with **record comments**. Its HTTP transport has no built-in auth, so only run it behind a reverse proxy or in a secured environment.
Both cover read/search/create/update of records and create/update of tables and fields.
This skill is for exporting schema metadata to a local file.
## Quick Start (Agents)
**Just run it, then react to any error:**
```bash
airtable-export-schema
```
- The command is **already on PATH** when this plugin is installed — don't search the plugin cache for the script or invoke it via `uv run --script` (the shebang handles uv, and uv installs the `requests` dependency automatically on first run). In a standalone checkout, run
