🤯 Welcome to Activepieces

All-in-one AI automation designed to be extensible through a type-safe pieces framework written in TypeScript. When you contribute pieces to Activepieces they become automatically available as MCP servers that you can use with LLMs through Claude Desktop, Cursor or Windsurf!

🔥 Why Activepieces is Different:

💖 Loved by Everyone: Intuitive interface and great experience for both technical and non-technical users with a quick learning curve.

🌐 Open Ecosystem: All pieces are open source and available on npmjs.com, 60% of the pieces are contributed by the community.
🛠️ Largest open source MCP toolkit: All our pieces (280+) are available as MCP that you can use with LLMs on Claude Desktop, Cursor or Windsurf.
🛠️ Pieces are written in Typescript: Pieces are npm packages in TypeScript, offering full customization with the best developer experience, including hot reloading for local piece development on your machine. 😎

🤖 AI-First: Native AI pieces let you experiment with various providers, or create your own agents using our AI SDK to help you build flows inside the builder.
🏢 Enterprise-Ready: Developers set up the tools, and anyone in the organization can use the no-code builder. Full customization from branding to control.
🔒 Secure by Design: Self-hosted and network-gapped for maximum security and control over your data.
🧠 Human in the Loop: Delay execution for a period of time or require approval. These are just pieces built on top of the piece framework, and you can build many pieces like that. 🎨
💻 Human Input Interfaces: Built-in support for human input triggers like "Chat Interface" 💬 and "Form Interface" 📝
