# Airbyte MCP server

Remote endpoint mcp.airbyte.ai/mcp. Checked September 2026.

Airbyte's hosted Agent MCP reads and writes records in the apps reached through its agent connectors, Shopify, Stripe, Klaviyo, Google Ads, and Zendesk among them, each on its own credentials. A local Replication server lists connectors, validates configurations, and runs syncs in an Airbyte Cloud workspace; a third server only searches Airbyte's documentation.

## Airbyte MCP options

Every fact in a row comes from the publisher's own documentation.

| Option | Audience | Reads or changes | Sign-in | Setup |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Agent MCP `https://mcp.airbyte.ai/mcp` Airbyte [Registered as io.github.airbytehq/agents](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/?q=io.github.airbytehq%2Fagents) | Merchants | Reads and writes data in apps connected through Airbyte Agents' agent connectors (including Shopify, Stripe, Klaviyo, Google Ads, and Zendesk Support) and can add or remove those connectors; each app needs its own credentials, entered in the browser. Can write | OAuth sign-in | [Setup guide →](https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/interfaces/mcp) |
| Airbyte Replication MCP server Airbyte | Developers | Runs locally through PyAirbyte to list connectors, validate configurations, create connectors, and run syncs in an Airbyte Cloud workspace; safe mode, on by default, limits edits and deletes to objects created in the same session, and an optional read-only mode still allows syncs. Can write | API key or token | [Setup guide →](https://docs.airbyte.com/developers/pyairbyte/reference/airbyte/mcp) |

## One MCP server per tool still can't answer a cross-channel question.

Each server brings its own sign-in, its own definition of revenue, and data your assistant can't join to the rest.

SourceMedium connects 63 commerce and marketing sources, keeps one set of maintained definitions, and gives ChatGPT, Claude, and other assistants a single connection to all of it. Airbyte is not a SourceMedium source today.
