MCP

Give your agent Giphy tools

Every Giphy 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 Giphy 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": "giphy",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Search Gifs/Stickers:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "giphy-search-gifs-stickers",
  arguments: {
    searchType: "Search Type",
    query: "Query",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the Giphy API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Giphy 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.giphy.com/v1/gifs/random",
})

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

SDK

Run Giphy actions from your backend

Connect a user's Giphy account once, then run Search Gifs/Stickers 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: "giphy-search-gifs-stickers",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    giphy: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    searchType: "Search Type",
    query: "Query",
  },
})

EVENTS

Giphy triggers

Event sources your backend can deploy for users and receive through a webhook.

No Giphy triggers are available yet.

MULTI-APP

Use Giphy with other popular apps

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