MCP
One MCP session, both toolsets
One session gives your product or agent every Dropbox and Google Photos 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_photos",
},
},
},
)
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 Photos 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, googlePhotosTools] =
await Promise.all([
pd.components.list({ app: "dropbox" }),
pd.components.list({ app: "google_photos" }),
])
// 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_photos" \
-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.
