Interfaces

Airbyte Agents supports four interfaces for working with your data and your agents. Choose the interface that best fits how you want to build and run agents.

  • Web app: The Airbyte Agents web app at app.airbyte.ai. Talk to an Airbyte-hosted agent in Chats, or define Automations that run on a schedule or webhook. Best when you want Airbyte itself to be your agent, with no code required.
  • MCP server: A remote, Airbyte-hosted Model Context Protocol server that connects MCP-capable agents (like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT) to your data. Best for conversational agents that use off-the-shelf clients.
  • SDK: Python SDK for building, authenticating, and executing agent connectors directly in your Python applications. Best for Python-based agents you build and host yourself.
  • API: HTTP API for managing connectors, tokens, and executing operations from any language or backend service. Best for non-Python backends, custom admin flows, and embedding the authentication module in your app.
