Airbyte MCP connector

Airbyte is a data replication platform that consolidates information from hundreds of sources into data warehouses, lakes, and databases. The Airbyte MCP connector allows AI agents to trigger syncs and manage workspaces, sources, and destinations across an Airbyte instance. It also supports configuring and maintaining data pipelines to keep downstream systems up to date with the latest information.
