Requirements

  • VS Code ^1.100.0 (or any fork exposing the McpServerDefinitionProvider API)
  • Node.js — bundled via the VS Code runtime; no separate install needed
  • Google Chrome (or Edge / Chromium) — the Airtable login flow uses Patchright in headless mode. Falls back to msedge on Windows and chromium on Linux. The extension shows an actionable warning if no supported browser is detected.

Development

This is a pnpm monorepo.

PackageDescription
packages/extensionVS Code extension host (TypeScript + tsup)
packages/webviewReact dashboard webview (Vite + Tailwind v4)
packages/sharedShared types and message protocol
packages/mcp-serverairtable-user-mcp — ESM Node MCP server
scripts/Build tooling (esbuild bundler, dep vendoring)
pnpm install          # install all packages
pnpm build            # build shared → webview → mcp bundle → extension
pnpm package          # build + create airtable-formula-X.Y.Z.vsix
pnpm test             # run all unit tests
pnpm dev              # start webview dev server (browser preview)

How the MCP server is bundled: scripts/bundle-mcp.mjs esbuilds packages/mcp-server/src/ into packages/extension/dist/mcp/. Then scripts/prepare-package-deps.mjs vendors patchright, patchright-core, and otpauth into dist/node_modules/ before vsce package runs. The VSIX is fully self-contained.
