MCP

Give your agent Glide tools

Every Glide 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 Glide 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": "glide",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Add Rows to Table:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "glide-add-rows",
  arguments: {
    tableId: "Table ID",
    rows: ["Rows"],
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the Glide API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Glide 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.glideapp.io/api/function/queryTables",
})

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

SDK

Run Glide actions from your backend

Connect a user's Glide account once, then run Add Rows to Table 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: "glide-add-rows",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    glide: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    tableId: "Table ID",
    rows: ["Rows"],
  },
})

EVENTS

Glide triggers

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

No Glide triggers are available yet.

MULTI-APP

Use Glide with other popular apps

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