Open-source workflow automation built for AI agents and technical teams
Build automations with a visual node editor, then insert JavaScript or Python code nodes when you need custom logic.
Connect to 500+ native services, any REST API via HTTP nodes, and any agent or coding assistant through MCP.
Run agents alongside regular steps, inspect every decision, and add structured inputs, guardrails and human approval steps.
Watch workflows execute live, open past runs, replay a run with mocked data and re-run just the step that failed.
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.
