MCP
Give your agent Discord tools
Every Discord 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 Discord 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": "discord",
},
},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// e.g. run Send Message:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "discord-send-message",
arguments: {
channel: "Channel",
message: "Message",
},
})# access_token: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}",
"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

})API PROXY
Call the Discord API directly
For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Discord 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://discord.com/api/users/@me",
})
// Any allowed Discord 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://discord.com/api/users/@me
curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9kaXNjb3JkLmNvbS9hcGkvdXNlcnMvQG1l?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
-H "x-pd-environment: production"SDK
Run Discord actions from your backend
Connect a user's Discord account once, then run Send Message 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: "discord-send-message",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
discord: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
channel: "Channel",
message: "Message",
},
})from pipedream import Pipedream
pd = Pipedream(
client_id="{oauth_client_id}",

MULTI-APP
Use Discord with other popular apps
Most products don't stop at one integration. Pair Discord with the other apps your users rely on, and ship use cases that span both.
