Need tools that work in your existing AI workflow?
DataFaucet gives you MCP servers that plug into Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.
Dust is a complete AI agent platform. You build agents in their workspace, connect data sources, and interact through their interface or Slack. The agents are pre-built with managed integrations.
DataFaucet operates at a lower level: it creates tool interfaces (MCP servers) that any AI client can use. You choose where to use them. Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or your own agent framework.
If you want a ready-made AI assistant for your team with built-in knowledge base, Dust is purpose-built for that. If you want to give your existing AI tools access to any app (especially internal ones Dust doesn't support), DataFaucet fills that gap.
Dust supports ~15 integrations natively (Slack, Notion, GitHub, Google Drive, etc.). Most companies use 30-50 tools. The internal dashboards, niche SaaS apps, and custom admin panels that teams actually spend time in are rarely covered by any pre-built platform.
DataFaucet works with any URL. Point it at your internal CRM, your custom analytics dashboard, or the SaaS tool no one has heard of. 60 seconds later you have MCP tool access.
They create demand. We create supply.
Pick any URL. Browse for 30 seconds. Get a hosted MCP endpoint your AI can call immediately.
No credit card. No code. Free tier includes 3 servers.
