Airbyte Admin — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the airbyte-admin-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install airbyte-admin --cli-only

2. Verify: airbyte-admin-pp-cli --version
3. Ensure $GOPATH/bin (or $HOME/go/bin) is on $PATH.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer):

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/cloud/airbyte-admin/cmd/airbyte-admin-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the install step did not put the binary on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

Airbyte is a data integration platform used by data teams to move data from sources into warehouses, lakes, and operational destinations. This CLI exposes Airbyte's official Public API as a read-only terminal and MCP surface for inspecting pipeline inventory, sync jobs, connector metadata, workspaces, users, organizations, permissions, and tags.

Use it when an engineer or agent needs to answer operational questions such as "which sources and destinations are configured?", "what does this connection look like?", "which jobs are failing or running?", or "what workspaces and permissions can this account see?"

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

• public list-sources — Lists Airbyte sources, with sibling destination and connection-detail commands for inspecting configured data movement.
• public list-jobs — Lists sync jobs with connection filters and pagination for troubleshooting recent ELT activity.
• public list-connector-definitions — Shows available source or destination connector definitions for a workspace or organization.
• public list-workspaces — Surfaces workspaces, users, organizations, permissions, and tags for Airbyte operational review.
• sync — Caches Airbyte read endpoints locally for offline search, export, and repeatable agent analysis.

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

airbyte-admin-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.

Auth Setup

The health endpoint is public, but most Airbyte Cloud and self-managed Public API commands require an Authorization header. Do not store credentials in GitHub or in prompts.

Preferred environment variables:

export AIRBYTE_ADMIN_BASE_URL="https://cloud.airbyte.com/api"
export AIRBYTE_ADMIN_TOKEN="<airbyte-token>"

For local self-managed Airbyte or deployments that need a complete header:

export AIRBYTE_ADMIN_BASE_URL="http://localhost:8000/api"
export AIRBYTE_ADMIN_AUTH_HEADER="Basic <base64-user-pass>"

AIRBYTE_ADMIN_TOKEN is converted to Bearer <token> unless it already starts with Bearer . AIRBYTE_ADMIN_AUTH_HEADER wins when both are set.

Run airbyte-admin-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.

• Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr

• Filterable — --select keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:

  airbyte-admin-pp-cli public list-sources --agent --select id,name,status

• Previewable — --dry-run shows the request without sending

• Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available

• Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag

• Read-only — do not use this CLI for create, update, delete, publish, comment, upvote, invite, order, send, or other mutating requests
