About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Activepieces is an open-source automation platform positioned as a Zapier replacement. Its visual builder supports branches, loops, retries, HTTP, and code, while TypeScript-based Pieces can be extended, exposed as MCP servers, or used with AI agents. The latest release checked is 0.91.0.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Build business workflows visually and add code where it helps

The flow builder includes branches, loops, automatic retries, HTTP actions, and npm-capable code steps. Non-developers can assemble automations visually while developers extend the same platform with custom Pieces.

Reuse Pieces as integrations, MCP tools, and AI-agent capabilities

Pieces are extensible TypeScript packages and can be exposed through MCP to clients such as Claude Desktop and Cursor. AI agents, human approval steps, chat interfaces, and form input can also become parts of a workflow.

For teams combining SaaS integration and AI processing on one automation layer

It fits workflows ranging from notifications, synchronization, approvals, and API calls to multi-step AI-agent flows, while supporting both visual users and developers. Self-hosting is also relevant for environments that need stronger network control.

Treat credentials and execution rights as sensitive, and review mixed licensing

Automation connections often carry write access to external systems, so secrets, permissions, approvals, and auditing need explicit controls. Most code is MIT, but packages/ee/ and packages/server/api/src/app/ee use a separate Enterprise license. At release 0.91.0, pre-1.0 upgrades should also be regression-tested against critical flows and Pieces.

Supplemental curator note

Activepieces combines Zapier/n8n-style automation with AI agents and MCP through one piece ecosystem. Because it centralizes external credentials and execution rights, secret management, permissions, and auditability matter even when self-hosted.
