What it does

Pipedream provides integration infrastructure designed for builders connecting AI agents and applications to third party services. Developers supply agent instructions, code requests, or tool calls, and Pipedream executes them across external platforms using managed user credentials. The platform serves developers and software teams who need prebuilt tools and authentication across thousands of APIs without hosting integration infrastructure.

  1. Managed auth

    Executes user authentication workflows by providing hosted OAuth clients, storing credentials securely, and refreshing tokens automatically. Keeps tokens isolated from your core application while allowing per user authorization.

    Use caseA software engineer connects user accounts to Slack by embedding the authorization flow with the browser SDK and saving the resulting account identifier.

  2. MCP servers

    Exposes prebuilt actions and per user authentication to AI agents through a unified remote Model Context Protocol endpoint. Enables agents to locate available tools and execute actions on external systems directly.

    Use caseAn AI agent lists new customers in Stripe and posts a summary message to a Slack finance channel.

  3. Prebuilt triggers and actions

    Delivers ready made tools from a public registry that execute write requests against external services or monitor apps for real time events. Routes incoming updates to webhooks without custom polling infrastructure.

    Use caseA developer deploys a Gmail trigger for an external user to stream newly received email events directly to an application webhook.

  4. Connect proxy

    Accepts raw API requests for any supported integration, automatically injects the relevant user credentials, and forwards the call to the destination endpoint. Lets you reach any API path even when a prebuilt tool does not exist.

    Use caseA developer creates a new page in a Notion database on behalf of an external user by posting data through the proxy endpoint.
