# Airbyte: MCP server status, API access gate and what it does > Open-source/cloud ELT platform with 600+ connectors moving data from SaaS tools and databases into... Official MCP, Free to start.

No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 0. Vendor: [airbyte.com](https://airbyte.com) · entry id 06-airbyte · source 06-revops-infra.md line 322 **What it does** Open-source/cloud ELT platform with 600+ connectors moving data from SaaS tools and databases into warehouses; increasingly positions itself as a context layer for AI agents via a hosted Context Store. **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** A real, substantive "Agents" product line (app.airbyte.ai) using a Connect-Ask-Act model that lets agents query/act on connected data - not just a copilot bolt-on. Whether the core Connector Builder itself has natural-language-assisted connector generation was not confirmed either way and is left as unknown rather than guessed. **RevOps role** Upstream data-integration layer - gets GTM tool data (and 600+ other sources) into the warehouse, and now also positions as the retrieval/action layer for AI agents to reach across GTM systems directly. **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: Official MCP - **Auth**: Two-layer OAuth 2.0 - OAuth into the Airbyte account/org for the MCP server itself, plus separate OAuth or API-key auth per connected third-party service (Salesforce, HubSpot, GitHub, Stripe, etc.), entered in-browser, never in agent chat. Hosted endpoint: https://mcp.airbyte.ai/mcp. - **Parsed URLs**: 1 found in the mcp_url field The vendor ships and maintains the server itself. A wrapper built by Zapier, Composio or a similar third party does not count as official. The status was established on 2026-08-24 and has not been re-fetched since. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: official mcp_url, verbatim from the file: https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/interfaces/mcp - [https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/interfaces/mcp](https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/interfaces/mcp) **Access gate** - **Gate bucket**: Free to start - **Can a solo operator reach it**: Yes, without talking to anyone api_gate, verbatim from the file: free - Core (self-managed, open source) is always free; Cloud has a genuine self-serve $0/mo tier (1,000 Agent Operations/month); cheapest paid Standard tier starts at $10/mo. **API documentation** No documentation URL recorded. 263 of 293 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank. **GitHub health** Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build. The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale. **Jobs it can do** - [Sync records between systems](../jobs/sync-records-between-systems.md) A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records. Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 55 job vocabulary. 271 of 293 entries carry at least one tag; 827 tags are assigned in total. **Sources** - [https://airbyte.com/](https://airbyte.com/) - [https://airbyte.com/pricing](https://airbyte.com/pricing) - [https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/interfaces/mcp](https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/interfaces/mcp) 3 source URLs.
