What is Fast PyAirbyte?

Fast PyAirbyte is an AI-powered tool 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 server automates code generation, provides context-aware guidance, and streamlines the process of building and deploying data pipelines.

• Generates PyAirbyte pipeline code based on user instructions and connector documentation
• Uses OpenAI and file search to provide context-aware code and instructions
• Available as an npm package that can be executed via npx
• Easy installation with no local setup required

MCP Configuration

Add this to your MCP configuration file:

For Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fast-pyairbyte": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["fast-pyairbyte"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-openai-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Claude Desktop (~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fast-pyairbyte": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["fast-pyairbyte"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-openai-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Cline (~/.config/cline/mcp_settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fast-pyairbyte": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["fast-pyairbyte"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-openai-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requirements:

• Your own OpenAI API key from OpenAI Platform
• Python 3.7+ installed on your system
• Node.js 14+ for npx execution

Configuration Steps:

1. Get your OpenAI API key from OpenAI Platform
2. Create or edit your MCP configuration file
3. Add the configuration above with your actual OpenAI API key
4. Restart your MCP client (Cursor/Claude/Cline)
5. Start generating PyAirbyte pipelines!

Usage

Once configured, you can use the MCP server in your AI assistant by asking it to generate PyAirbyte pipelines.

🚀 How to Use

1. Verify Connection

• Look for the MCP server status in your client's interface
• You should see "fast-pyairbyte" listed with 1 tool available
• If it shows 0 tools or is red, check your configuration

2. Generate Pipelines with Natural Language

Simply ask your AI assistant to generate a PyAirbyte pipeline! Here are example prompts:

Basic Examples:

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

3. Available Source/Destination Options

• 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) OR dataframe for Pandas analysis

4. Pro Tips

• Use "dataframe" as destination if you want to analyze data in Python/Pandas
• Be specific about your source and destination names (use official Airbyte connector names with source- or destination- prefixes)
• Ask follow-up questions if 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!

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "Python not found" error

   • Install Python 3.7+ from python.org
   • Ensure Python is in your system PATH

2. "Dependencies failed to install" error

   • Check your internet connection
   • Try running pip install --upgrade pip first

3. "OpenAI API key not found" error

   • Verify your API key is correctly set in the MCP configuration
   • Check that you're using a valid OpenAI API key

4. MCP server shows 0 tools

   • Check the MCP configuration file syntax
   • Restart your MCP client after configuration changes
   • Check the server logs for error messages
