Data and BI - official Airbyte server
Airbyte MCP server
Hosted MCP server that connects AI agents to an Airbyte Cloud organization to build, monitor and troubleshoot data pipelines, and (with the context layer enabled) read live data directly from supported sources and destinations. A local version runs against self-managed Airbyte Core via the PyAirbyte package. Airbyte hosts it at https://mcp.airbyte.com/mcp, or you can run airbyte (pypi) locally with OAuth or API key auth.

Notes and caveats
- Open beta; features and tools may change.
- Hosted server works only with Airbyte Cloud and Airbyte Flex; sign-in is OAuth 2.0 (SSO supported), or Client-Id/Client-Secret headers from an Airbyte application for headless agents.
- Direct reads need an org admin to enable the context layer, are read-only, are capped at 100,000 per month per org during beta, and are Cloud-only.
- Deletes only work on resources whose name contains delete-me or deleteme.
- For self-managed Airbyte Core, run locally with uvx --from=airbyte@latest airbyte-mcp (stdio, client ID/secret, known issues).
- Codex is not documented for this server.
