Watch as we use Claude and MCP to build an entire Airtable meal planner from scratch.
In this episode, Kamille demonstrates the power and limitations of using Claude and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build an Airtable base from scratch. She walks through a live experiment where she prompts Claude to create a complex meal planner, including tables for recipes, ingredients, and a shopping list, as well as the necessary automations and interfaces.
The team also dives into recent Airtable updates, including the new Slack integration and the ability to manage automations via MCP. They discuss the current limitations of AI-driven base building—such as the inability to edit existing interfaces or handle script steps—and compare the experiences of using Claude versus Airtable’s Omni.
