MCP

Give your agent Cisco Meraki tools

Every Cisco Meraki 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 Cisco Meraki 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": "cisco_meraki",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Create Organization:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "cisco_meraki-create-organization",
  arguments: {
    name: "Name",
  },
})

# access_token: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide

API PROXY

Call the Cisco Meraki API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Cisco Meraki 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.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations",
})

// Any allowed Cisco Meraki 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.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkubWVyYWtpLmNvbS9hcGkvdjEvb3JnYW5pemF0aW9ucw?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "x-pd-environment: production"

SDK

Run Cisco Meraki actions from your backend

Connect a user's Cisco Meraki account once, then run Create Organization 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: "cisco_meraki-create-organization",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    cisco_meraki: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    name: "Name",
  },
})

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="cisco_meraki-create-organization",
    external_user_id="{external_user_id}",  # any stable ID for this user in your system
    configured_props={
        "cisco_meraki": {"authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx"},
        "name": "Name",
    },
)

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}" \
