MCP
Give your agent Customer.io tools
Every Customer.io 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 Customer.io 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": "customer_io",
},
},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// e.g. run Add Customers to Segment:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "customer_io-add-customers-to-segment",
arguments: {
customerIds: ["Customer ID"],
segmentId: "Segment ID",
},
})# access_token: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide

Call the Customer.io API directly
For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Customer.io 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://track.customer.io/api/v1/accounts/region",
})
// Any allowed Customer.io 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://track.customer.io/api/v1/accounts/region
curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmFjay5jdXN0b21lci5pby9hcGkvdjEvYWNjb3VudHMvcmVnaW9u?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \

Run Customer.io actions from your backend
Connect a user's Customer.io account once, then run Add Customers to Segment on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.
