Activepieces is an open-source workflow automation platform (an "open replacement for Zapier") with a visual builder, 280+ integrations, native AI steps, and one of the largest open-source MCP toolkits for AI agents. It is BYOK: in the Admin Console AI settings (and per-connection for AI pieces), users add their own provider base URL and API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini, and pay only for the tokens they consume. Base-URL configuration also supports AI gateways (Vercel, Cloudflare) and OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Fully self-hostable via Docker Compose under an MIT license, with a hosted cloud option also available.

Why this trust score (79/100)

Trust measures how the tool treats your API key and how much of that has been verified. It contains no popularity signal.

  • Key Safety 21/25: The key lives in a deployment you run yourself.
  • Request Routing 17/20: Requests go straight from you to the AI provider.
  • Transparency 20/20: Source is public under MIT (Community Edition; enterprise features under a separate commercial license), so anyone can check how the key is handled.
  • Privacy 10/15: Can be self-hosted, so the data path stays inside infrastructure you control.
  • Maintenance 10/10: Actively developed: commits within the last three months.
  • Verification Confidence 1/10: Compiled from public documentation by an AI-assisted pass, not independently confirmed.

What was checked

Verification tier RESEARCH_ASSISTED, derived from the evidence below and not set by hand.

  • [REPORTED · RESEARCH] This listing was compiled by an AI-assisted research pass over the tool's public website, README and documentation. No person independently confirmed it.
  • [CONFIRMED · SOURCE_SCAN] Ships a container definition, so it can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure. source
  • [CONFIRMED · SOURCE_SCAN] Most recent commit 2026-08-15, about 0 month(s) ago. source

How your API key is handled

You self-host the app, so your API key lives in your own deployment. Requests are sent directly to the AI provider. Because it can be self-hosted, your key never has to touch a third-party backend.

Setup

Deploy it (Docker/compose), add your provider API key in the admin or environment config, then select models.
