MCP
One MCP session, both toolsets
One session gives your product or agent every Dropbox and Google Docs tool at once — connect once, list tools, and call them like any single-app session.
// 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": "dropbox,google_docs",
},
},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// One list, both toolsets: Dropbox and Google Docs tools arrive
// together, each keyed by its own app's slug.
// e.g. run Create a Text File:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "dropbox-create-a-text-file",
arguments: {
name: "File Name",
path: "Path",
},
})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 externalUserId = "{external_user_id}" // any stable ID for this user in your system
const [dropboxTools, googleDocsTools] =
await Promise.all([
pd.components.list({ app: "dropbox" }),
pd.components.list({ app: "google_docs" }),
])
// One external user owns both connected accounts, so either app's tools
// run on their behalf with the same externalUserId.curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/components?app=dropbox" \
-H "X-PD-Environment: production" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}"
curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/components?app=google_docs" \
-H "X-PD-Environment: production" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}"
# Connect both accounts to the same external_user_id, then
# configure and invoke either app's tools on that user's behalf.ARCHITECTURE
One user, two connected accounts
Your user connects each account once, under whatever ID they already have in your product. The two stay independent — either can be revoked on its own — and your code reaches both through that one user.

Actions top 8 of 25
-
Append Text
actionAppend text to an existing document. See the documentationWritev0.1.17 -
Create Document
actionCreate a new Google Doc with an optional body. The body is rendered as Markdown, so you can include headings (# Title), bold/italic, bullet/numbered lists, links, and code. Optionally place the doc in a specific Drive folder. Returns{documentId, title, url}. See the documentationWritev1.0.7 -
Append Image to Document
actionAppends an image to the end of a document. See the documentationWritev0.0.11 -
Apply Bullets
actionTurn paragraphs into a bulleted or numbered list in a Google Doc. Locate the paragraphs with Find Text, or pass an explicit Start Index and End Index. Every paragraph the range touches becomes a list item. Use Remove Bullets to undo. See the documentationWritev0.0.3 -
Create Document From Template
actionCreate a new Google Doc by copying a template document and substituting{{placeholder}}tokens with values. Use Find Document to resolve the template's name to its ID. Returns{documentId, title, url}. See the documentationWritev1.0.7 -
Create Tab
actionAdd a new tab to an existing Google Doc and return its Tab ID. The tab is created empty; pass the returnedtabIdas Tab ID to Insert Text, Write Table, Insert Image, Insert Table or Insert Page Break to fill it, because an edit sent without a Tab ID always goes to the document's first tab. Added at the end of the document's tabs unless Position is set, and nested under another tab when Parent Tab ID is set. Use List Tabs to see the tabs a document already has, or Find Document to resolve a document's name to its ID. Position applies only to the tab being created: this tool set cannot rename, reorder or delete a tab that already exists — say so plainly rather than attempting a workaround such as recreating the tab. See the documentationWritev0.0.1 -
Delete Table
actionRemove an entire table, structure and contents, from the document. Use this to clear a table completely, including an empty table left behind after its text was removed. Set Table Number to pick which table to remove (1 = first top-level table in the document, in reading order; a table nested inside another table's cell doesn't count separately). Use Get Document first if you need to confirm how many tables exist. This also works on a table linked to a Google Sheet, since removal is treated as ordinary content deletion. Use Find Document to resolve a document's name to its ID. In a multi-tab document, set Tab ID to choose which tab to delete from — without it the first tab's tables are the ones counted and removed; use List Tabs to get the IDs. See the documentationWritev0.1.0 -
Export Document
actionExport (download) a Google Doc to a file in PDF, DOCX, TXT, HTML, or ODT format. Use Find Document to resolve a document's name to its ID. The file is written to the workflow's temporary storage and a presigned download URL is returned to the caller. Returns{filePath, filename, mimeType}. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.8
