OpenConnector is an open-source connector gateway for AI agents and an alternative to Pipedream/Composio. Connect user app accounts once, then expose a shared catalog of 1,000+ providers and 10,000+ prebuilt Actions to agents and applications.

Use the Connector SDK from app code, oo CLI as the local-agent relay, MCP from agent hosts, HTTP/OpenAPI from custom clients, and the Web Console for administration and debugging.

• Keep credentials, scopes, schemas, policies, and run logs inside an inspectable runtime.
• Run locally, on your own infrastructure, or through OOMOL's hosted runtime.
• Use the same provider ids, Action ids, schemas, and contracts across open-source and commercial SaaS deployments.

What It Provides

• A working connector catalog across products such as GitHub, Gmail, Notion, BigQuery, Google Analytics, Supabase, Airtable, Slack, and more.
• Credential handling for API keys, OAuth2, custom credentials, and no-auth providers.
• Inspectable Action contracts: request/response schemas, required scopes, and lazy-loaded executor source.
• Runtime controls for connection identity, scopes, runtime tokens, action allow/block policies, temporary file transit, and redacted run logs.
• Deployment options for local Docker or Node.js with SQLite or PostgreSQL state and local or S3-compatible transit storage, plus OOMOL's hosted runtime. Additional managed platforms are listed in deployment options.

Where It Fits

OpenConnector fits products where agents need durable access to the tools users already use, without handing provider credentials to the agent process.

• Agent products that need reusable access across work apps, developer tools, data systems, communication platforms, and AI services.
• Products adding agent workflows that need stable, inspectable Action contracts for user app access.
• Teams that want hosted auth for speed while keeping a path to private or self-hosted runtime control.

Developer Tools

Endpoint details, response envelopes, auth headers, MCP tools, and Action guide examples are in docs/runtime-api.md.

Dashboard Preview

OpenConnector ships with a local Dashboard for browsing connectors, configuring credentials, creating runtime tokens, and inspecting runtime usage.

Connector Catalog

Use the connector catalog to see available services, search for providers, and open their Actions and credential setup from one place.

Usage Overview

Use the Overview page after deployment to monitor runtime readiness, available providers, executable Actions, recent failures, tool call trends, and recent calls.

Provider names and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used only for identification and interoperability.

Apps and agents discover Actions, inspect schemas and scopes, select a connection alias, and execute through the gateway. Provider secrets stay behind the runtime boundary; agents receive the metadata, safe account labels, and execution results needed for the run.

Usage Paths

Quick Start

[!NOTE] This starts a self-hosted runtime. OAuth providers require OAuth client credentials from apps you register with those providers. To let users authorize supported providers without setting up your own OAuth apps, use OOMOL-hosted connectors.

Start the runtime from the published image with Docker Compose:

docker compose up

This pulls ghcr.io/oomol-lab/open-connector:latest. To build from source instead:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.build.yml up --build

Open the local console and generated API reference:

http://localhost:3000
http://localhost:3000/docs

Run a no-auth Action to verify the runtime:

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3000/v1/actions/hackernews.get_top_stories \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"input":{}}'

See docs/quickstart.md for the full local setup, first provider connection, OAuth flow, and runtime settings.

Connect a Provider

GitHub is the simplest credentialed example because it can use a personal access token:

curl -s -X PUT http://localhost:3000/api/connections/github \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"authType":"api_key","values":{"apiKey":"github_pat_..."}}'

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3000/v1/actions/github.get_current_user \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"input":{}}'

For OAuth2 apps, named connections, credential encryption, token refresh, and action policies, see docs/credentials.md and docs/configuration.md.

Web Console

For npm-based local development, open http://localhost:5173; the Web Console dev server proxies API requests to the runtime on http://localhost:3000. For Docker or a built Node runtime, the console is served from http://localhost:3000.

The console supports provider browsing, API key and OAuth client configuration, runtime token creation, Action schema inspection, Action debugging, recent run review, and access to the generated OpenAPI and MCP metadata.

PostgreSQL Runtime Storage

The Node runtime uses SQLite by default and can use PostgreSQL 15 or newer when OOMOL_CONNECT_DATABASE_URL is configured. PostgreSQL migrations are explicit: run npm run runtime:migrate before starting a version with pending migrations. Server startup only checks schema readiness and never applies PostgreSQL DDL. See docs/configuration.md for configuration, permissions, TLS, and multi-instance requirements. The Docker image exposes the same runner as its migrate subcommand; see docs/docker-ghcr.md.

Docker Image (GHCR)

Run OpenConnector from a prebuilt image on GitHub Packages (GHCR): ghcr.io/oomol-lab/open-connector. Use latest for the newest release, a pinned released version for production, or tip for the latest main build.

See docs/docker-ghcr.md for tags, pulling, and running.

A Ready-to-Use AI Bot with Leina

If you want an AI bot you can use out of the box, try Leina. Leina connects to over 1,500 SaaS apps and lets you customize your own AI agent by choosing its app connections, skills, and knowledge base to fit your team’s workflows.

Use it in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, or Telegram to find information, compile weekly reports, organize customer feedback, and prepare sales follow-ups through the apps you authorize.

Development

Use Node.js 22 or newer:

npm install
npm run dev

The local API runtime listens on http://localhost:3000. The Web Console dev server listens on http://localhost:5173 and proxies API requests to the runtime.

Before opening a pull request:

npm run fix-check
npm test
