Open Agent Connector is an open-source, self-hosted integration gateway designed to allow AI agents to discover and execute actions across various application APIs. It features a FastAPI backend managing provider definitions and connections, alongside a Next.js console for administration, prioritizing extensibility and local control over integrations.

open-agent-connector sits in the API Integration category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward MCP gateway for tool discovery and execution. A representative use case is Enabling AI agents to interact with external services (e.g., GitHub, Slack) via a unified interface.. The listed license is Apache-2.0. GitHub stars are currently 844. Relevant tags include AI Agent Integration, Self-hosted.
