What is Airbyte MCP?

The Airbyte MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects Airbyte to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with Airbyte (data integration — elt connectors, sources, destinations, sync pipelines) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.

It is a remote MCP server that uses OAuth, so you point your client at the server URL, authorize once, and the Airbyte tools become available to the model.
