OpenConnector is an open-source connector gateway for AI agents, offered as an alternative to Composio. You connect user app accounts once, and the runtime exposes a shared catalogue of 1,000+ providers and 10,000+ prebuilt Actions (GitHub, Gmail, Notion, BigQuery, Google Analytics, Supabase, Airtable, Slack and more) to agents and applications. The idea is that agents get durable access to tools users already use without provider credentials being handed to the agent process.

It handles API keys, OAuth2, custom credentials and no-auth providers, with inspectable Action contracts (request and response schemas, required scopes, lazy-loaded executor source) and runtime controls for connection identity, scopes, runtime tokens, allow and block policies, temporary file transit and redacted run logs. You can use the Connector SDK, the oo CLI as a local-agent relay, an MCP endpoint (http://localhost:3000/mcp), HTTP and OpenAPI, or the web console. Run it locally with `docker compose up`, on Fly.io with persistent SQLite, on Cloudflare Workers with D1 and R2, or through OOMOL's hosted runtime. The code is Apache-2.0 licensed.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool. Data as of 2026-10-24.

Why choose it

+One catalogue of 1,000+ providers and 10,000+ Actions exposed through an SDK, CLI, MCP, HTTP/OpenAPI and a web console.
+Keeps credentials out of the agent process, with scopes, runtime tokens, allow and block policies and redacted run logs.
+Inspectable Action contracts (schemas, required scopes, executor source).
+Runs locally with Docker, on Fly.io, on Cloudflare Workers or hosted; Apache-2.0 licensed.

Trade-offs

!Hosted authentication and the commercial SaaS runtime come from OOMOL, so some convenience paths depend on that vendor, while self-hosting means you operate the runtime yourself.
!Using each provider needs you to connect that account and manage its credentials and scopes.
!The breadth (1,000+ providers) means integration depth varies by provider.

Who it fits

Pick it if
  • You want your agents to use 1,000+ app integrations without handing provider credentials to the agent process.
  • You want a self-hostable alternative to Composio, runnable with Docker, on Fly.io or on Cloudflare Workers.
  • You want inspectable Action contracts (schemas, required scopes, executor source) with scopes, runtime tokens and allow and block policies.
Look elsewhere if
  • You need deep coverage of one service: integration depth varies across 1,000+ providers.
  • You want no vendor path at all: hosted authentication and the commercial runtime come from OOMOL, and self-hosting means you run the runtime yourself.
  • You do not want to connect and manage each provider's account, credentials and scopes.
