MCP

Give your agent Crypto APIs by Alternative tools

Every Crypto APIs by Alternative 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 Crypto APIs by Alternative 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": "crypto_apis_by_alternative",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// Every tool arrives with its own input schema — run one with mcp.callTool().

API PROXY

Call the Crypto APIs by Alternative API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Crypto APIs by Alternative 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.alternative.me/fng/",
})

// Any allowed Crypto APIs by Alternative endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.

SDK

Run Crypto APIs by Alternative actions from your backend

Connect a user's Crypto APIs by Alternative account once, then discover and run its tools 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 tools = await pd.components.list({
  app: "crypto_apis_by_alternative",
  componentType: "action",
})
