Setup
Install PyAirbyte in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/quintonwall/airbyte-labs-pyairbyte-mcp
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
The PyAirbyte Managed Code Provider (MCP) service is an AI-powered backend that generates PyAirbyte pipeline code and instructions. It leverages OpenAI and connector documentation to help users quickly scaffold and configure data pipelines between sources and destinations supported by Airbyte. The MCP service automates code generation, provides context-aware guidance, and streamlines the process of building and deploying data pipelines. If you want to learn more on how the service works check outthis video.
- Generates PyAirbyte pipeline codebased on user instructions and connector documentation.
- Uses OpenAI and file searchto provide context-aware code and instructions.
- Available as a remote MCP serverfor Cursor.
The easiest way to get started is using our hosted MCP server. Add this to your Cursor MCP configuration file (.cursor/mcp.json):
{ "mcpServers": { "pyairbyte-mcp": { "url": "https://pyairbyte-mcp-7b7b8566f2ce.herokuapp.com/mcp", "env": { "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-openai-api-key-here" } } } }
- Your own OpenAI API key
- No local installation required
- Works immediately after configuration
- Get your OpenAI API key fromOpenAI Platform
- Create or edit.cursor/mcp.jsonin your project directory (for project-specific) or~/.cursor/mcp.json(for global access)
- Add the configuration above with your actual OpenAI API key
- turn off / on the MCP server
- Start generating PyAirbyte pipelines!
- API keys are provided via MCP environment variables in the configuration
- This ensures secure API key handling through the MCP protocol
- Cursor is currently the only client that appears to support passing in ENV for remote servers. We will add Cline support as soon as available.
Once configured, you can use the MCP server in your AI assistant by asking it to generate PyAirbyte pipelines.
- Look for the MCP server status in Cline's interface
- You should see "pyairbyte-mcp" listed with 1 tool available
- If it shows 0 tools or is red, check your mcp.json. If you need more help, please ask inthis slack channel.
2. Generate Pipelines with Natural Language
Simply ask Cline to generate a PyAirbyte pipeline! Here are example prompts:
Generate a PyAirbyte pipeline from source-postgres to destination-snowflake
Create a pipeline to move data from source-github to dataframe
Build a PyAirbyte script for source-stripe to destination-bigquery
Generate a data pipeline from source-salesforce to destination-postgres
Create a pipeline that reads from source-github to a dataframe, and then visualize the results using Streamlit
Help me set up a data pipeline from source-salesforce to destination-postgres
- Sources: Any Airbyte source connector (e.g.,source-postgres,source-github,source-stripe,source-mysql,source-salesforce)
- Destinations: Any Airbyte destination connector (e.g.,destination-snowflake,destination-bigquery,destination-postgres) ORdataframefor Pandas analysis
- Use "dataframe"as destination if you want to analyze data in Python/Pandas
- Be specificabout your source and destination names (use official Airbyte connector names and use source- or destination- to specify)
- Ask follow-up questionsif you need help with specific configuration or setup
The tool will automatically use your OpenAI API key (configured in the MCP settings) to generate enhanced, well-documented pipeline code with best practices and detailed setup instructions!
Just start by asking Cline to generate a pipeline for your specific use case! 🎯
- Automated Code Generation: Creates complete PyAirbyte pipeline scripts
- Configuration Management: Handles environment variables and credentials securely
- Documentation Integration: Uses OpenAI to provide context-aware instructions
- Multiple Output Formats: Supports both destination connectors and DataFrame output
- Best Practices: Includes error handling, logging, and proper project structure
- Generate pipeline for over 600 connectors: If it is in theAirbyte Connector Registry, the MCP server can create it.
Generates a complete PyAirbyte pipeline with setup instructions.
- source_name: The official Airbyte source connector name (e.g., 'source-postgres', 'source-github')
- destination_name: The official Airbyte destination connector name (e.g., 'destination-postgres', 'destination-snowflake') OR 'dataframe' to output to Pandas DataFrames
- Complete Python pipeline code
- Setup and installation instructions
- Environment variable templates
- Best practices and usage guidelines
