MCP

Give your agent CircleCI tools

Every CircleCI 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 CircleCI 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": "circleci",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Get Job Artifacts:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "circleci-get-job-artifacts",
  arguments: {
    projectSlug: "Project Slug",
    pipelineId: "Pipeline ID",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the CircleCI API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the CircleCI 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://circleci.com/api/v1.1/me",
})

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

SDK

Run CircleCI actions from your backend

Connect a user's CircleCI account once, then run Get Job Artifacts 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: "circleci-get-job-artifacts",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    circleci: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    projectSlug: "Project Slug",
    pipelineId: "Pipeline ID",
  },
})

MULTI-APP

Use CircleCI with other popular apps

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