MCP

Give your agent Directus tools

Every Directus 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 Directus 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": "directus",
      },
    },
  },
)

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 Directus API directly

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

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

SDK

Run Directus actions from your backend

Connect a user's Directus 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: "directus",
  componentType: "action",
})

TOOLS

Directus actions

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

No Directus triggers are available yet.

MULTI-APP

Use Directus with other popular apps

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