MCP

Give your agent CoinMarketCap tools

Every CoinMarketCap 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 CoinMarketCap 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"),

API PROXY

Call the CoinMarketCap API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the CoinMarketCap 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.example.com/v1/me",
})

// Any allowed CoinMarketCap 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.example.com/v1/me

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkuZXhhbXBsZS5jb20vdjEvbWU?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "x-pd-environment: production"

SDK

Run CoinMarketCap actions from your backend

Connect a user's CoinMarketCap account once, then run Get Cryptocurrency Metadata 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: "coinmarketcap-get-cryptocurrency-metadata",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    coinmarketcap: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    ids: ["Cryptocurrency IDs"],
    skipInvalid: true,
  },
})

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="coinmarketcap-get-cryptocurrency-metadata",
    external_user_id="{external_user_id}",  # any stable ID for this user in your system
    configured_props={
        "coinmarketcap": {"authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx"},
        "ids": ["Cryptocurrency IDs"],
        "skipInvalid": True,
    },
)

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}" \
  -d '{
    "external_user_id": "{external_user_id}",
    "id": "coinmarketcap-get-cryptocurrency-metadata",
    "configured_props": {
      "coinmarketcap": { "authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx" },
      "ids": ["Cryptocurrency IDs"],
      "skipInvalid": true
    }
  }'
