MCP
Give your agent Amazon Alexa tools
Every Amazon Alexa action is exposed as an MCP tool on Pipedream's remote server. Point a client at it with your end user's ID and Connect resolves that user's Amazon Alexa account for each tool call — you store no tokens.
// 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": "amazon_alexa",
},
},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// e.g. run Get Simulation Results:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "amazon_alexa-get-simulation-results",
arguments: {
skillId: "Skill ID",
stage: "Stage",
},
})# access_token: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}",
"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": "amazon_alexa",

})API PROXY
Call the Amazon Alexa API directly
For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Amazon Alexa API with the connected user's credentials attached. You store no tokens and write no refresh logic.
const resp = await pd.proxy.get({
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
accountId: "apn_xxxxxxx",
url: "https://api.amazonalexa.com/v1/addressBooks",
})
// Any allowed Amazon Alexa endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.# The path segment is the target URL, URL-safe base64 encoded:
# https://api.amazonalexa.com/v1/addressBooks
curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkuYW1hem9uYWxleGEuY29tL3YxL2FkZHJlc3NCb29rcw?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \

Run Amazon Alexa actions from your backend
Connect a user's Amazon Alexa account once, then run Get Simulation Results on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.

Amazon Alexa actions
On-demand operations your product or agent can configure and run on behalf of a connected user.
-
Get Simulation Results
actionGet the results of the specified simulation for an Alexa skill. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.2 -
Simulate Alexa Skill
actionSimulate a dialog from an Alexa-enabled device and receive the skill response for the specified example utterance. See the documentationWritev0.0.2
EVENTS
Amazon Alexa triggers
Event sources your backend can deploy for users and receive through a webhook.
No Amazon Alexa triggers are available yet.
MULTI-APP
Use Amazon Alexa with other popular apps
Most products don't stop at one integration. Pair Amazon Alexa with the other apps your users rely on, and ship use cases that span both.
