Want your AI to access external tools and data?
DataFaucet creates MCP servers in 60 seconds. Pieces can then use those tools.
Pieces focuses on your local development context: saving useful snippets, remembering what you worked on, providing relevant code suggestions, and maintaining long-term memory across sessions. It makes your AI assistant smarter about your codebase.
DataFaucet focuses on external data access: turning Salesforce, Stripe, internal dashboards, or any web app into callable tools that AI agents can use. It makes your AI assistant capable of reaching into systems it otherwise cannot touch.
Pieces makes AI understand your code better. DataFaucet makes AI interact with your tools. Together: an AI that knows your codebase AND can pull live data from your production systems.
Since Pieces supports MCP as a client, it can consume MCP servers that DataFaucet creates. The workflow:
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.
