Airbyte Configuration API Claude Desktop Integration

This guide explains how to configure Claude Desktop (Mac and Windows) to use the Airbyte Configuration API API through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The integration exposes 10 API endpointsas callable tools inside Claude's chat interface, including For worker to set sync stats of a running attempt., For worker to save the AttemptSyncConfig for an attempt., For worker to register the workflow id in attempt., and more. No API keys or credentials are needed — setup takes approximately 30 seconds. The server runs locally via npx and communicates over STDIO transport. Paste the JSON configuration below into your claude_desktop_config.json file to get started.
