Summary

Airbyte's hosted MCP server that puts your business SaaS behind one endpoint — CRM, billing, support desk and analytics, read and write, with credentials the model never sees.

Features

  • One hosted endpoint fronting Airbyte's business-app connector library
  • Discovery-first tools (list_skills, search_skills, read_skill_docs, inspect_connector) keep context small
  • Read and write: list, search, retrieve, create and update records downstream
  • Two-layer OAuth — credentials entered in the browser, never in the chat
  • Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and VS Code
  • Available on Free, Individual, Team and Custom plans

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

  1. Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
  2. Merge the snippet below into it.
  3. Restart the agent — the "Airbyte Agents MCP" tools will be available.

Description

Airbyte spent years building connectors for moving data out of business applications. Airbyte Agents points that connector library at MCP instead: one hosted endpoint at https://mcp.airbyte.ai/mcp that an agent authenticates against once and then reaches CRMs, billing platforms, support desks, revenue-intelligence tools and project trackers through.

Rather than exposing hundreds of per-service tools and drowning the model's context, the server is built around discovery. list_skills and search_skills let the agent find what is available, read_skill_docs returns the usage documentation for a given entity and action, and inspect_connector returns connector metadata — and only then does the agent execute the actual list, search, retrieve, create and update operations. It is a lazily-loaded tool surface, which is the right shape once the catalogue is large.

Authentication is two-layered and deliberately keeps secrets away from the model. You log into Airbyte through OAuth 2.0 to reach the MCP server; each downstream service is then connected with its own OAuth consent screen or a credential form filled in the browser, never in the chat. The model sees environment variable names, the server resolves the values.

Any client that speaks OAuth and streamable HTTP can connect — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and VS Code are all documented. It is available on Airbyte's Free, Individual, Team and Custom plans; ChatGPT access can be blocked by workspace policy on Enterprise and Education tiers.

Airbyte separately runs a knowledge server at https://airbyte.mcp.kapa.ai for semantic search over its own documentation, which is a different thing and worth not confusing with this one.
