MCP

Give your agent ArcGIS Online tools

Every ArcGIS Online 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 ArcGIS Online account for each tool call — you store no tokens.

Pipedream Connect

// 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": "arcgis_online",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Find Intersecting Features by Geometry:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "arcgis_online-query-intersecting-features-by-geometry",
  arguments: {
    featureService: "Feature Service",
    targetLayerIds: ["Target Layers"],
  },
})

# 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",

        tools = await session.list_tools()

        # e.g. run Find Intersecting Features by Geometry:
        result = await session.call_tool("arcgis_online-query-intersecting-features-by-geometry", {

API PROXY

Call the ArcGIS Online API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the ArcGIS Online API with the connected user's credentials attached. You store no tokens and write no refresh logic.

Pipedream Connect

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.example.com/v1/me",
})

// Any allowed ArcGIS Online 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.example.com/v1/me

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkuZXhhbXBsZS5jb20vdjEvbWU?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "x-pd-environment: production"

SDK

Run ArcGIS Online actions from your backend

Connect a user's ArcGIS Online account once, then run Find Intersecting Features by Geometry on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.

Pipedream Connect

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 result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "arcgis_online-query-intersecting-features-by-geometry",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    arcgis_online: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    featureService: "Feature Service",
    targetLayerIds: ["Target Layers"],
  },
})

from pipedream import Pipedream

pd = Pipedream(
    client_id="{oauth_client_id}",
    client_secret="{oauth_client_secret}",
    project_id="{project_id}",
    project_environment="production",
)

result = pd.actions.run(
    id="arcgis_online-query-intersecting-features-by-geometry",
    external_user_id="{external_user_id}",  # any stable ID for this user in your system
    configured_props={
        "arcgis_online": {"authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx"},
        "featureService": "Feature Service",
        "targetLayerIds": ["Target Layers"],
    },
)

curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-PD-Environment: production" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -d '{

    "configured_props": {
      "arcgis_online": { "authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx" },
      "featureService": "Feature Service",
      "targetLayerIds": ["Target Layers"]
    }
  }'
