A side-by-side look at the Airtable MCP Server and Ohmyho.st MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Airtable MCP Server for databases work as a local process; choose Ohmyho.st for databases as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
AIRTABLE_API_KEY, MCP_TRANSPORT, PORT.baseId, tableId, maxRecords.OHMYHOST_ENVIRONMENT, OHMYHOST_TOKEN, OHMYHOST_PROFILE.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
