Airbyte

A comprehensive data infrastructure for replication and AI agents

Airbyte Agents is the managed data and context layer for AI agents, giving AI applications, LLMs, and MCP clients real-time, authenticated access to business data (CRMs, support tools, SaaS APIs, databases). Use the managed product, or use the open-source Airbyte Agent SDK (uv pip install airbyte-agent-sdk) to embed type-safe connectors as LLM tools in your own agent.

• 50+ agent connectors available today, with more arriving frequently
• Real-time read access to systems like Salesforce, HubSpot, GitHub, Jira, Stripe, Zendesk, and Gong
• Strongly-typed, well-documented access to third-party APIs
• MCP interface compatible with modern agent platforms
• Works with Pydantic AI, LangChain, OpenAI Agents, and FastMCP, with built-in retry, exception translation, and output-size guardrails

Airbyte provides the infrastructure for building extract-and-load pipelines from APIs, databases, and files into databases, warehouses, and lakes. It is designed for versatility, scalability, and ease of use. The replication connector catalog includes:

• 600+ pre-built replication and agent connectors: Airbyte's connector catalog comes out-of-the-box with over 600 connectors. These connectors can be used to start replicating data from a source to a destination in just a few minutes.
• No-Code Connector Builder: You can easily extend Airbyte’s functionality to support your custom use cases through tools like the No-Code Connector Builder.
• The platform: Airbyte’s platform provides all the horizontal services required to configure and scale data movement operations, available as cloud-managed or open source self-managed.
• The user interface: Airbyte features a UI, PyAirbyte (Python library), API, and Terraform Provider to integrate with your preferred tooling and approach to infrastructure management. Airbyte is suitable for a wide range of data integration use cases, including AI data infrastructure and EL(T) workloads. Airbyte is also embeddable within your own application or platform to power your product.

This foundation is battle-tested in production across thousands of companies and supported by a community of over 27,000 developers.
