OpenConnector
By OOMOL
Apache-2.0 connector gateway, around 5,700 GitHub stars, that holds a user's app credentials outside the agent process and exposes more than 1,000 SaaS providers and 10,000 prebuilt actions over MCP, HTTP and OpenAPI, an SDK, or a CLI, with scope limits, action allow and block policies, and redacted run logs; it runs on your own Docker or Node host or on OOMOL's hosted runtime.
Best for
- giving agents durable access to Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, and other work apps
- keeping OAuth credentials out of the agent process
- a self-hostable alternative to Pipedream or Composio for connector auth
- inspectable action contracts with scopes, policies, and run logs
- the same provider and action ids across local, self-hosted, and managed runtimes
- Sep 9, 2026Added to the automation category: open-source connector gateway holding OAuth credentials outside the agent process, with 1,000+ providers reachable over MCP, HTTP/OpenAPI, SDK, or CLI. Distinct from Pipedream, n8n, and Activepieces in the catalogue, which run workflows; OpenConnector supplies authenticated tool access to agents that already have their own runtime.
