Notes and caveats

  • Separate product from the Airbyte MCP: requires an Airbyte Agents account (app.airbyte.ai), available on Free, Individual, Team and Custom plans.
  • Two-layer auth: OAuth to Airbyte, then a browser credential flow per third-party service.
  • The docs list only the skill-docs tools; connector entities and actions are discovered at runtime.
  • The ChatGPT app (Airbyte Agent Engine) is currently available only in the United States.
  • No status wording on the page.
