6 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- 22,171 GitHub stars.
- 100 commits on main in the last 30 days. Top cadence.
- MIT main; ~400 integrations bundled.
- Self-hosted Docker deployment.
- Built-in MCP exposure for every piece.
- Dual-licensed: `packages/ee/` directories are under a separate commercial license, not MIT.
- gh api reports NOASSERTION for the spdx_id because of the mixed-licence structure.
- Score docked from 4.7 to 4.5 for the commercial Enterprise Edition subset.
- Self-hosted Docker deployment requires DevOps capacity.
ACTIVEPIECES_API_KEY plus per-piece OAuth credentials grant full integration access. Use a dedicated workspace for agent flows. Licence caveat: code in `packages/ee/` and `packages/server/api/src/app/ee/` directories is governed by the commercial Enterprise Edition licence (see `packages/ee/LICENSE`) rather than MIT; review before redistribution.
Self-hosted no-code automation teams who want MCP exposure across many integrations without writing per-integration MCPs; agencies running ActivePieces for clients with agent-driven workflows; teams that want one platform for both visual flows and agent-callable tools.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
