MCP
One MCP session, both toolsets
One session gives your product or agent every Asana 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-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
"x-pd-app-slug": "asana,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: Asana and Gmail tools arrive
// together, each keyed by its own app's slug.
// e.g. run Add Task To Section:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "asana-add-task-to-section",
arguments: {
task: "Task",

},
})import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const externalUserId = "{external_user_id}" // any stable ID for this user in your system
const [asanaTools, gmailTools] =
await Promise.all([
pd.components.list({ app: "asana" }),
pd.components.list({ app: "gmail" }),
])

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/components?app=gmail" \

# 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 Task To Section
actionMoves a task into a specific section within an Asana project, removing it from any other section it currently occupies in that project. Use Search Sections to find the section GID and Search Tasks to find the task GID. Returns an empty object{}on success. Example: call withproject: '1204567890123456',task: '1202345678901234',section_gid: '1203456789012345'→ task is moved into that section and returns{}. See the documentationWritev1.0.0 -
Create Project
actionCreates a new project in an Asana workspace or team. Use this to set up a new initiative, sprint, or work stream. For organization workspaces you must supply ateamGID (use List Teams to find it). Returns the new project record including itsgid. Example: call withprojectName: 'Q4 Marketing Campaign',workspace: '1200123456789012',team: '1203456789012345',defaultView: 'board'→ returns{gid: '1204567890123456', name: 'Q4 Marketing Campaign'}. See the documentationWritev1.0.0 -
Create Subtask
actionCreates a new subtask nested under an existing parent task. Use this when the work is a sub-item of another task; for top-level tasks use Create Task. The parent task GID is required. Returns the new subtask record including itsgid. Example: call withtask_gid: '1202345678901234',subtaskName: 'Write first draft',due_on: '2026-10-05'→ returns{gid: '1207890123456789', name: 'Write first draft', resource_type: 'task'}. See the documentationWritev1.0.0 -
Create Task
actionCreates a new task in Asana. Use this to add a standalone task to a workspace or project. For subtasks, use Create Subtask instead; for template-based tasks, use Create Task from Template. Returns the new task record including itsgid. Example: call withtaskName: 'Review Q3 report',workspace: '1200123456789012',due_on: '2026-10-01'→ returns{gid: '1202345678901234', name: 'Review Q3 report', resource_type: 'task'}. See the documentationWritev1.0.0 -
Create Task Comment
actionAdds a comment (story) to an existing Asana task. Use this to post a text update or pinned note visible to task followers. Provide eithertext(plain text) orhtml_text(HTML-formatted), but not both. Returns the new story record including itsgidandtype. Example: call withtask_gid: '1202345678901234',text: 'Approved — ready to ship!'→ returns{gid: '1209012345678901', type: 'comment', text: 'Approved — ready to ship!'}. See the documentationWritev1.0.0 -
Create Task from Template
actionCreates a new Asana task by instantiating an existing task template. Use this when a team has a reusable task structure (e.g. a bug-report or onboarding template); for ad-hoc tasks use Create Task. Use List Task Templates to find the template GID. This kicks off an asynchronous job — the response is a job resource, not the finished task;new_task.gidis available immediately but the task's fields may still be populating, so use Find Task by ID if you need to confirm it's ready. The new task's project and memberships are determined by the template itself, not by any project passed here. Example: call withtaskTemplateId: '1205678901234567',name: 'Bug: Login page crash'→ returns{gid: '1205555555555555', resource_type: 'job', new_task: {gid: '1206789012345678'}}. See the documentationWritev1.0.0 -
Delete Task
actionDeletes an Asana task. This moves the task to the deleting user's trash and removes it from active views immediately; it can be recovered for 30 days before Asana permanently removes it. Use Find Task by ID to confirm the task GID before deleting. Returns an empty data object{}on success. Example: call withtask_gid: '1202345678901234'→ returns{}. See the documentationWritev1.0.0 -
Find Task by ID
actionRetrieves the complete record for a single Asana task by its GID. Use this to fetch full task details (description, assignee, due date, custom fields) after obtaining a task GID from Search Tasks. UseoptFieldsto request additional fields not returned by default. Example: call withtask_gid: '1202345678901234',optFields: ['due_on','assignee','custom_fields']→ returns the full task record for that GID. See the documentationRead-onlyv1.0.0

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
