ACI.dev is an open-source platform that connects AI agents to over 600 external tools and services, including things like Google Calendar, Slack, Vercel, and Supabase. Instead of each developer writing their own login flows and API clients for every service they want an AI agent to use, ACI.dev handles all of that in one place. The goal is to make it much easier to build AI agents that can take real actions in the world, not just answer questions. The platform offers two ways to plug these tools into an agent. One is a unified MCP server, which is a standardized protocol that many AI coding tools already understand. The other is a lightweight Python or TypeScript library for developers who prefer direct function calls from their own code. Both options give agents access to the same catalog of integrations and the same authentication system. Authentication is a significant part of what ACI.dev provides. When an AI agent needs to connect multiple users to multiple services, managing who can access what becomes complicated quickly. ACI.dev includes built-in support for OAuth flows, secrets storage, and permission boundaries written in plain language, so you can describe what an agent is allowed to do without writing low-level security rules. One promoted use case is what the project calls VibeOps: connecting an AI coding assistant to deployment platforms so it can handle tasks like provisioning infrastructure, configuring databases, and pushing a project live, all without the developer leaving their editor. Other uses include building personal assistant chatbots that can read email or manage calendars, and automating sales or support workflows that touch several SaaS tools at once. The entire platform, including the backend, the developer portal, and the integration definitions, is released under the Apache 2.0 license. A managed hosted version is available at aci.dev for those who do not want to run the infrastructure themselves.
