MCP

Give your agent Ashby tools

Every Ashby 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 Ashby 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": "ashby",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Create Application:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "ashby-create-application",
  arguments: {
    candidateId: "Candidate ID",
    jobId: "Job ID",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the Ashby API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Ashby 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.ashbyhq.com/user.list",
})

// Any allowed Ashby endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.

SDK

Run Ashby actions from your backend

Connect a user's Ashby account once, then run Create Application on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.

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: "ashby-create-application",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    ashby: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    candidateId: "Candidate ID",
    jobId: "Job ID",
  },
})

TOOLS

Ashby actions

On-demand operations your product or agent can configure and run on behalf of a connected user.

EVENTS

Ashby triggers

Event sources your backend can deploy for users and receive through a webhook.

No Ashby triggers are available yet.

MULTI-APP

Use Ashby with other popular apps

Most products don't stop at one integration. Pair Ashby with the other apps your users rely on, and ship use cases that span both.
