Open-source AI automation that unifies agents, flows and 770+ app integrations
Describe a task in everyday words and the agent determines the steps, chooses tools from your connected apps and MCP servers, and pauses for approval on sensitive actions.
Build automations on a canvas with branching, retries, waitpoints, subflows and error handling, then write inline TypeScript for the steps that need real code.
Every piece is MIT-licensed and community-built, covering the apps you already run, with an HTTP piece for any REST or GraphQL endpoint with auth and pagination handled.
Draft flows by chatting, store structured data in Tables that flows and agents can read and write, and keep internal documents searchable by every agent.
Managed auth and 10,000+ tools for the agents you're building
Pipedream hosts the OAuth flow, stores and refreshes tokens, and injects the right credentials on every request, scoped per end user and per project.
Every integration ships with actions that write to APIs and triggers that stream events into your app in real time, all published in a public registry on GitHub.
Point any MCP client at Pipedream's remote server to give an agent thousands of tools with per-user auth and built-in tool discovery.
For endpoints without a prebuilt action, send any HTTP method to any integrated API and Pipedream attaches user credentials and returns the response.
Features massive app connectivity and no-code automation, but lacks Pipedream's developer-centric code steps and fine-grained agent tool triggers.
