↗

A connector like Catchr

Catchr MCP puts Airtable and your other marketing sources in the same conversation, under one connection.

Claude reads campaigns, ad sets, ads, placements, and creative performance. Other sources connected to the same workspace can inform the same answer.

Read-only by design

Catchr gives Claude eight tools, and all eight of them read.

What Claude can read

Claude can list the platforms and accounts connected to your workspace, browse the available fields, and run reporting queries against them. That covers spend, delivery, conversions, and creative performance, down to the level you ask for.

What Claude cannot touch

Claude cannot create, pause, or edit a campaign, move a budget, publish an ad, or change an audience. There is no write permission to grant, so there is none to supervise.

Where the change still happens

In Ads Manager. Decide in the conversation what to change and why, then act with the access and the review your team already uses.

Twelve Airtable prompts for analyzing real account data.

Choose your role, open a workflow, then replace the bracketed variables before pasting the prompt into Claude. Every prompt asks for evidence, limits, and a concrete output.

Agency promptCopy prompt

Replace [variables] Facts ≠ hypotheses Action + follow-up metric

A simple client question should not trigger an hour of data prep

“Why did CPA rise?” sounds simple. The answer is usually buried across exports, formulas, filters, and tabs before the analysis can even start.

Pull another CSV

Choose the right account, date range, breakdowns, and fields. Then wait for the file and do it again when the question changes.

Rebuild the context

Rename columns, fix formats, join tabs, and check formulas before you can trust the comparison.

Summarize it by hand

Turn the numbers into a client-ready answer, then repeat the whole process for the inevitable follow-up.

Ask the account. Get to the explanation.

Catchr MCP gives Claude access to the marketing accounts you select, so each follow-up starts with the same marketing context instead of a new manual export.

The hard way

Prepare data before every question.

  • Export files from the marketing platform
  • Reformat and reconcile columns
  • Rebuild the analysis for each follow-up
The Catchr way

Connect once. Keep asking.

  • Select the right accounts and data
  • Ask in the language your team already uses
  • Investigate with follow-up questions

Airtable to Claude: FAQ

Clear answers for marketers comparing connectors, data sources, reporting workflows, and dashboard setup.

What Airtable data can Claude analyze through Catchr?

Claude can analyze records from an Airtable base and table selected through Catchr. Available fields are discovered from that table, so the analysis can reflect its text, numeric, boolean, date-like, linked-record, attachment, and multi-select data when those fields are present and permitted.

How does Catchr organize Airtable data for analysis in Claude?

Catchr discovers Airtable sources as Base / Table pairs. Select the relevant pair so Claude works with records and fields from the intended table rather than mixing unrelated datasets.

Can Claude analyze Airtable records by date in Catchr?

Yes, when the selected table contains suitable date-like data. Claude can use supported date breakdowns such as day, week, month, quarter, year, and hour to summarize or compare records over time.

How does Claude receive complex Airtable fields through Catchr?

Catchr preserves linked records, attachments, multi-select values, and other complex Airtable data as JSON strings. Claude can inspect these values, while numeric, boolean, and date-like scalar fields retain native types for clearer analysis.

Will renaming an Airtable field break its Catchr mapping for Claude?

Catchr maps dynamically discovered fields with Airtable field IDs rather than display names, helping the mapping remain stable when a field is renamed. Use clear current field names in your prompt so Claude can present the result understandably.

Can Claude compare records from multiple Airtable bases or tables?

Yes, provided each Base / Table pair is available through Catchr. Ask Claude to review each dataset separately first, then compare only fields whose meanings, types, dates, and identifiers are compatible.

Can I combine Airtable with other Catchr sources in Claude?

Yes, when the other sources are also connected through Catchr. Give Claude the shared dates, identifiers, and business definitions, and request a side-by-side analysis when the datasets do not support a reliable join.

What do I need to connect Airtable to Claude with Catchr?

You need an Airtable personal access token with access to the relevant bases and tables, an Airtable source connected in your Catchr workspace, and Catchr MCP enabled in Claude. The records and fields Claude can use depend on the token's permissions and the selected Base / Table pair.

How recent is the Airtable data that Claude analyzes through Catchr?

Claude analyzes the Airtable records returned through the Catchr connection and should not assume they are real time. Ask Claude to identify the latest available date-like value, the requested period, and any missing intervals before drawing time-based conclusions.

Can Claude edit Airtable records through Catchr?

No. Catchr MCP provides Airtable data to Claude for analysis and does not grant write access to edit fields, add records, remove attachments, or change bases and tables. Make any operational changes directly in Airtable with the appropriate permissions and review.
