OSS Tanbou

preserve source-system permissions at query time while exposing enterprise knowledge to search, RAG, and MCP

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

PipesHub indexes more than 50 business systems including Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, Microsoft 365, and Notion, then provides permission-aware search and cited answers. The same context layer can be exposed to custom agents through MCP and SDKs.

Features and best fit

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

Key features

Index enterprise knowledge through 50+ connectors

Real-time and scheduled indexing bring content from multiple business systems into a common search and AI context layer.

Sources: [2]

Resolve source-level permissions when each query runs

Users and agents retrieve only information they are authorized to see in the source system, with access controls resolved at query time rather than approximated only during indexing.

Sources: [2]

Combine citations, knowledge-graph retrieval, MCP, and SDK access

Block-level citations, graph-backed retrieval, MCP, and Python/TypeScript/Go SDKs let the same knowledge layer serve search UIs and custom agents.

Sources: [2]

Best fit

Fits organizations self-hosting permission-aware RAG across business SaaS

It is relevant when Slack, Drive, and other systems should feed enterprise search, Q&A, and coding agents without discarding existing user permissions.

Sources: [2]

Before adoption

Operate connector credentials and source permissions as security-critical state

Permission-aware retrieval still depends on correct connector scopes and source-side user or group mappings. Credential rotation and permission synchronization remain operational responsibilities.

Sources: [2]

Use HTTPS for remote deployments

The README warns that plain HTTP cloud deployments can cause browser requests to be blocked and recommends TLS termination through Cloudflare, Nginx, Traefik, or an equivalent layer.

Sources: [2]

Review the installer and choose slim/full infrastructure deliberately

The interactive installer generates secrets and selects graph database, message broker, KV store, and image tags. The README also documents downloading and inspecting the script before execution.

Supplemental curator note

PipesHub indexes systems such as Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, Microsoft 365, and Notion, resolves source-system permissions at query time, and exposes the resulting context to search, MCP clients, SDKs, and custom agents.

Try it in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Download the installer

    Download the installer to a file instead of piping it directly to the shell so it can be reviewed before execution.

    curl -fsSL https://get.pipeshub.com/install -o pipeshub-install.sh
  2. 2

    Review the installer

    Inspect Docker prerequisites, secret generation, slim/full deployment choices, and graph database, broker, and KV-store configuration.

    less pipeshub-install.sh
  3. 3

    Set up v0.9.1

    Pin the stable release image tag and run the interactive installer. When it finishes, open http://localhost:3000 and configure the first connector.

    bash pipeshub-install.sh --version 0.9.1
