01 — Overview

What is Activepieces?

Activepieces lets you build automations by connecting apps in a visual, step-by-step editor. Hundreds of integrations, called pieces, cover common services, and you can add AI steps and agents to a flow, plus connect MCP servers so models can use your tools.

The software is open source under the MIT license, so you can run the community edition on your own server for free, or use the managed cloud. It is often compared with n8n and Zapier: simpler and more modern to set up than n8n, with a smaller catalog of integrations than Zapier.
