MCP
Give your agent Emboss tools
Every Emboss 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 Emboss 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": "emboss",
},
},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// e.g. run Create Fillable Form:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "emboss-create-fillable-form",
arguments: {
file: "File Path Or Url",
idempotencyKey: "Idempotency Key",
},
})# 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
"x-pd-app-slug": "emboss",

Call the Emboss API directly
For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Emboss 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.getemboss.ai/usage",
})
// Any allowed Emboss 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://api.getemboss.ai/usage
curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkuZ2V0ZW1ib3NzLmFpL3VzYWdl?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \

Run Emboss actions from your backend
Connect a user's Emboss account once, then run Create Fillable Form 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: "emboss-create-fillable-form",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
emboss: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
file: "File Path Or Url",
idempotencyKey: "Idempotency Key",

Emboss actions
On-demand operations your product or agent can configure and run on behalf of a connected user.
-
Create Fillable Form
actionTurn a flat (non-fillable) PDF into a fillable form. Emboss detects text fields, checkboxes, signatures, and tables, and returns a fillable PDF plus a form ID. Use Fill Existing Form to fill it later, or Fill PDF From Context to detect and fill in one step. Polls up to ~12 minutes for large documents. See the documentationWritev0.0.2 -
Fill Existing Form
actionFill a form you previously created in Emboss, using context text and/or a context file; Emboss populates the detected fields from your context and returns the completed PDF. Create the form first with Create Fillable Form. Provide at least one context input. Polls up to ~12 minutes. See the documentationWritev0.0.2 -
Fill PDF From Context
actionUpload a flat (non-fillable) PDF plus context (text and/or a file); Emboss detects the fields and fills them with AI in one step, returning the completed PDF. Provide at least one context input. Use Create Fillable Form + Fill Existing Form instead to reuse the same form repeatedly. Polls up to ~12 minutes for large documents. See the documentationWritev0.0.2 -
List Forms
actionList the forms in your Emboss account. Each form is returned with itsid,titleandstatus— pass a returnedidas the Form ID for Fill Existing Form, instead of typing it in by hand. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.2
