MCP

Give your agent Dex tools

Every Dex 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 Dex 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": "dex",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Create Note:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "dex-create-note",
  arguments: {
    note: "Note",
    contactIds: ["Contact IDs"],
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the Dex API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Dex 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.getdex.com/api/rest/contacts",
})

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

SDK

Run Dex actions from your backend

Connect a user's Dex account once, then run Create Note 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: "dex-create-note",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    dex: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    note: "Note",
    contactIds: ["Contact IDs"],
  },
})

EVENTS

Dex triggers

Event sources your backend can deploy for users and receive through a webhook.

No Dex triggers are available yet.

MULTI-APP

Use Dex with other popular apps

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