About

Pipedream is an integration platform designed to sit between AI agents and third-party APIs. Building integrations for agents normally means registering OAuth applications, storing and refreshing tokens, and writing glue code for each API a user wants to connect — Pipedream takes over that entire layer. Developers get managed authentication, a registry of prebuilt tools and triggers, and a raw proxy for any endpoint not otherwise covered.

The platform's Connect product handles authorization flows, credential storage, and token refresh for more than 3,000 APIs, and exposes over 10,000 prebuilt actions and triggers. Agents can consume these tools through a single remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint, while developers can also call any API directly from code. A second product, Conduit (in early access), gives companies a governed gateway for employees connecting workplace apps to AI agents, with SSO, access policies, per-user permissions, and an audit trail. Pipedream reports more than one million accounts connected through the service.

Key Features

MCP servers for agents: A single remote MCP endpoint at Pipedream lets any MCP-compatible agent discover and use all 10,000+ tools, with each tool running against the end user's own connected accounts.
Managed auth for 3,000+ APIs: Pipedream hosts the OAuth flow, stores credentials encrypted at rest, and refreshes tokens automatically, so developers never handle raw credentials.
10,000+ prebuilt triggers and actions: A public registry of write actions and event triggers — open source and extendable on GitHub — covers common tasks like sending Slack messages or reacting to new Gmail messages.
Raw API proxy: When no prebuilt tool exists, the Connect proxy forwards any HTTP request to any of the supported APIs, attaching the correct auth headers per user so credentials never pass through the developer's own servers.
Hosted Connect Link flows: Developers can send users a hosted authorization URL or embed the flow with a browser SDK, and Pipedream returns the connected account for immediate use.
Real-time event triggers: Deployed triggers stream webhook events from a user's apps (for example, new emails or spreadsheet rows) to the developer's application.
Conduit for companies (early access): A gateway for organizations deploying AI internally, offering SSO, access policies, per-user permissions, and a full audit trail in one place.

  • Free tier: The Free plan includes every feature in development — all connectors, tools, MCP servers, the proxy, and unlimited team members — with no credit card required.
  • Production-ready plan features: The Business plan adds SSO, SCIM provisioning, HIPAA support, dedicated static egress IPs, SLAs, and dedicated Slack support.
  • Security: SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance are included on all plans; credentials are encrypted at rest, scoped per project, and any account can be revoked with one API call.

Who It's For

Pipedream is aimed at developers building AI agents or applications that need to act on their users' behalf across many SaaS APIs. Typical users include AI agent developers wiring up tools like Slack, Stripe, Gmail, or Notion; SaaS product teams shipping integration catalogs without hosting OAuth infrastructure; and platform engineers who need per-user authentication and event streams. Larger organizations evaluating safe employee use of AI tools may also be interested in Conduit, the enterprise gateway currently in early access.

FAQ
