MCP
One MCP session, both toolsets
One session gives your product or agent every Airtable and Gmail tool at once — connect once, list tools, and call them like any single-app session.
// accessToken: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
{
requestInit: {
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
"x-pd-project-id": "{project_id}",
"x-pd-environment": "production",
"x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
"x-pd-app-slug": "airtable_oauth,gmail",
},
},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// One list, both toolsets: Airtable and Gmail tools arrive
// together, each keyed by its own app's slug.
// e.g. run Create Comment:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "airtable_oauth-create-comment",
arguments: {
baseId: "Base",
tableId: "Table",
},
})import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const externalUserId = "{external_user_id}" // any stable ID for this user in your system
const [airtableOauthTools, gmailTools] =
await Promise.all([
pd.components.list({ app: "airtable_oauth" }),
pd.components.list({ app: "gmail" }),
])
// One external user owns both connected accounts, so either app's tools
// run on their behalf with the same externalUserId.curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/components?app=airtable_oauth" \
-H "X-PD-Environment: production" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}"
curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/components?app=gmail" \
-H "X-PD-Environment: production" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}"
# Connect both accounts to the same external_user_id, then
# configure and invoke either app's tools on that user's behalf.ARCHITECTURE
One user, two connected accounts
Your user connects each account once, under whatever ID they already have in your product. The two stay independent — either can be revoked on its own — and your code reaches both through that one user.

-
Add Label to Email
actionAdd label(s) to an email message. See the docsWritev0.0.16 -
Archive Email
actionArchive an email message. See the documentationWritev0.0.11 -
Bulk Archive Emails
actionArchive multiple emails at once. See the documentationWritev0.0.1 -
Create Draft
actionCreate an unsent draft in the authenticated Gmail account. Same parameter shape as Send Email — the difference is the message is saved to Drafts instead of being sent. For a reply-draft, passinReplyToMessageId(from Find Emails / Get Thread); the subject,References,In-Reply-To, andthreadIdare derived from the referenced message.bodyTypecontrols whetherbodyis treated as plain text (default) or HTML. To draft to yourself, pass"me"into— the action resolves it to the authenticated user's email address. No pre-call to Get Current User required. Attachments usefile-refinputs and require matchingattachmentFilenames[]entries. See the documentation.Writev0.2.3 -
Create Label
actionCreate a new user label in the authenticated Gmail mailbox and return its ID. Call this before Modify Labels whenever the label the user wants to apply doesn't yet exist — List Labels will tell you what's already there. Idempotent: if a label with the same name already exists, the action swallows the 409, looks it up by name, and returns the existing label withalreadyExisted: trueso the caller can proceed. Nested labels are expressed with/— e.g.Clients/Acmecreates or targets a sub-label underClients.coloris optional; when provided, bothtextColorandbackgroundColormust be supplied together and must come from Gmail's fixed palette. See the documentation.Writev0.1.3 -
Delete Email
actionMoves the specified message to the trash. See the documentationWritev0.0.5 -
Delete Label
actionImmediately and permanently delete a user-created label from the authenticated Gmail mailbox, removing it from every message and thread it was applied to. Only user-created labels can be deleted — Gmail's built-in system labels (INBOX,SENT,SPAM,TRASH, etc.) cannot. This deletes the label definition itself; to merely detach a label from specific messages without removing it, use Modify Labels withremoveLabelsinstead. See the documentation.Writev0.0.3 -
Download Attachment
actionDownload a Gmail message attachment to/tmpand return its path + metadata. File Stash syncs the file and exposes a presigned download URL so the caller can retrieve it. Call Find Emails (withformat: "full") or Get Thread first — attachment IDs only appear in full-format message reads; each returned message'spayload.parts[]enumerates attachments as{ body.attachmentId, filename, mimeType }. Pass the enclosing message'sidasmessageIdand the part'sbody.attachmentIdasattachmentId. Iffilenameis omitted, the action looks up the attachment's filename from the message payload. SetconvertToPdf: trueto convert image / HTML / plain-text / DOCX attachments to PDF during download; other MIME types are rejected. See the documentation.Read-onlyv0.1.3
