What problem does it solve?
This Skill removes the manual work of connecting Airtable to a self-hosted Hermes Agent, so an AI coding agent can safely access bases, tables, records, and schema-aware tools over SSH.
Core Features & Use Cases
- SSH-first wiring: Configures Airtable on the VPS where Hermes runs, rather than relying on a local desktop setup.
- Idempotent and rollback-safe: Checks whether Airtable is already registered, avoids duplicate setup, and includes rollback steps if anything fails.
- Secure token handling: Stores a Personal Access Token with least-privilege scopes and keeps secrets out of logs and chat.
- MCP or REST connectivity: Uses Airtable's hosted MCP endpoint when available, with a documented REST fallback for environments that cannot reach it.
- Use case: A user wants Claude Code or Cursor to read and update Airtable records from a remote VPS without exposing credentials or doing manual connector setup.
Quick Start
Provide the VPS SSH details, an Airtable Personal Access Token, and the bases to attach, then ask the agent to wire Airtable into the Hermes installation on your server.
