CONNECT APP

Build with Better Stack

Better Stack lets you see inside any stack, debug any issue, and resolve any incident.

MCP

Give your agent Better Stack tools

Every Better Stack 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 Better Stack 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": "better_stack",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Acknowledge Incident:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "better_stack-acknowledge-incident",
  arguments: {
    incidentId: "Incident ID",
    acknowledgedBy: "Acknowledged By",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the Better Stack API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Better Stack 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://uptime.betterstack.com/api/v2/monitors",
})

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

SDK

Run Better Stack actions from your backend

Connect a user's Better Stack account once, then run Acknowledge Incident 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: "better_stack-acknowledge-incident",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    better_stack: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    incidentId: "Incident ID",
    acknowledgedBy: "Acknowledged By",
  },
})

EVENTS

Better Stack triggers

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

No Better Stack triggers are available yet.

MULTI-APP

Use Better Stack with other popular apps

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