Airtruct

ETL Pipelines, Made Simple — scale as you need, without the hassle.

Airtruct is an open-source data pipeline tool — a lightweight, self-hosted alternative to Airbyte and Fivetran. Build and manage streams visually with a pipeline builder UI, transform data with the built-in Bloblang DSL, and scale horizontally with a simple coordinator & worker architecture. Expose streams as MCP tools for AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients. Single binary, no Docker or JVM required.
