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.
Automate work across thousands of apps — no code required
Connect thousands of apps with a visual editor, using both point-and-click logic and natural language to define each step.
Connect AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor to your apps so they can read data and take real action.
Create AI assistants that answer questions and complete multi-step tasks across your connected systems.
Store structured data your workflows can read and update, keeping records in sync across tools.
