MCP

Give your agent Free Dictionary tools

Every Free Dictionary 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 Free Dictionary 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": "dictionary_api",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Get Word Definition:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "dictionary_api-get-word-definition",
  arguments: {
    word: "Word",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the Free Dictionary API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Free Dictionary 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.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/<word>",
})

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

SDK

Run Free Dictionary actions from your backend

Connect a user's Free Dictionary account once, then run Get Word Definition 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: "dictionary_api-get-word-definition",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    dictionary_api: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    word: "Word",
  },
})

TOOLS

Free Dictionary actions

On-demand operations your product or agent can configure and run on behalf of a connected user.

EVENTS

Free Dictionary triggers

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

No Free Dictionary triggers are available yet.

MULTI-APP

Use Free Dictionary with other popular apps

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