MCP
One MCP session, both toolsets
One session gives your product or agent every Gmail and Microsoft Power BI 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": "gmail,microsoft_power_bi",
},
},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// One list, both toolsets: Gmail and Microsoft Power BI tools arrive
// together, each keyed by its own app's slug.
// e.g. run Add Label to Email:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "gmail-add-label-to-email",
arguments: {
message: "Message",
addLabelIds: ["Labels"],
},
})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 [gmailTools, microsoftPowerBiTools] =
await Promise.all([
pd.components.list({ app: "gmail" }),
pd.components.list({ app: "microsoft_power_bi" }),
])
// 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=gmail" \

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/components?app=microsoft_power_bi" \

# 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 21
-
Add Label to Email
actionAdd label(s) to an email message. See the docsWritev0.0.16 -
Archive Email
actionArchive an email message. See the documentationWritev0.0.11 -
Bulk Archive Emails
actionArchive multiple emails at once. See the documentationWritev0.0.1 -
Create Draft
actionCreate an unsent draft in the authenticated Gmail account. Same parameter shape as Send Email — the difference is the message is saved to Drafts instead of being sent. For a reply-draft, passinReplyToMessageId(from Find Emails / Get Thread); the subject,References,In-Reply-To, andthreadIdare derived from the referenced message.bodyTypecontrols whetherbodyis treated as plain text (default) or HTML. To draft to yourself, pass"me"into— the action resolves it to the authenticated user's email address. No pre-call to Get Current User required. Attachments usefile-refinputs and require matchingattachmentFilenames[]entries. See the documentation.Writev0.2.3 -
Create Label
actionCreate a new user label in the authenticated Gmail mailbox and return its ID. Call this before Modify Labels whenever the label the user wants to apply doesn't yet exist — List Labels will tell you what's already there. Idempotent: if a label with the same name already exists, the action swallows the 409, looks it up by name, and returns the existing label withalreadyExisted: trueso the caller can proceed. Nested labels are expressed with/— e.g.Clients/Acmecreates or targets a sub-label underClients.coloris optional; when provided, bothtextColorandbackgroundColormust be supplied together and must come from Gmail's fixed palette. See the documentation.Writev0.1.3 -
Delete Email
actionMoves the specified message to the trash. See the documentationWritev0.0.5 -
Delete Label
actionImmediately and permanently delete a user-created label from the authenticated Gmail mailbox, removing it from every message and thread it was applied to. Only user-created labels can be deleted — Gmail's built-in system labels (INBOX,SENT,SPAM,TRASH, etc.) cannot. This deletes the label definition itself; to merely detach a label from specific messages without removing it, use Modify Labels withremoveLabelsinstead. See the documentation.Writev0.0.3 -
Download Attachment
actionDownload a Gmail message attachment to/tmpand return its path + metadata. File Stash syncs the file and exposes a presigned download URL so the caller can retrieve it. Call Find Emails (withformat: "full") or Get Thread first — attachment IDs only appear in full-format message reads; each returned message'spayload.parts[]enumerates attachments as{ body.attachmentId, filename, mimeType }. Pass the enclosing message'sidasmessageIdand the part'sbody.attachmentIdasattachmentId. Iffilenameis omitted, the action looks up the attachment's filename from the message payload. SetconvertToPdf: trueto convert image / HTML / plain-text / DOCX attachments to PDF during download; other MIME types are rejected. See the documentation.Read-onlyv0.1.3

Add Rows to Dataset Table
actionAdds new data rows to the specified table within the specified dataset from My workspace. See the documentationWritev0.0.6 -
Add Rows To Push Dataset
actionAppend rows to a table in a Power BI Push Dataset (streaming / realtime data). Only works for datasets created via the REST API withdefaultMode: Push— these datasets exposeaddRowsAPIEnabled: trueon the object returned by List Datasets. Use List Datasets first to resolve a dataset name →datasetIdand inspect itstablesfor the exacttableName(case-sensitive). PassworkspaceId(from List Workspaces) orworkspaceNameto target a specific workspace, or omit both for My workspace. Rows must match the table's column schema.rowsaccepts either a JSON array ([{...}, {...}]) or a JSON-stringified array. Each row is an object ofcolumnName → value. Common mistakes: (1) case mismatch ontableNamereturns 404 — copy the exact string from the dataset'stablesarray. (2) Sending values that don't match the declared column data type returnsRequestedResourceNotFoundorDMTS_DatasourceHasNoCredentialsError. Push-dataset rows have no individual IDs and cannot be updated or deleted — only appended or bulk-cleared. See the documentationWritev0.0.3 -
Cancel Dataset Refresh
actionCancels a refresh operation for a specified dataset in Power BI. See the documentationWritev0.0.5 -
Create Dataset
actionCreates a new Push Dataset in Power BI. See the documentationWritev0.0.4 -
Execute DAX Query
actionExecute a DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) query against a Power BI dataset (semantic model). This is the primary analytics tool — use it to answer questions about values, aggregates, or filtered rows in a dataset. Use List Datasets first to resolve a dataset name →datasetId. The query must be a single valid DAX expression starting withEVALUATE. Table discovery (standard datasets): For datasets published from Power BI Desktop, the RESTGET /datasets/{id}/tablesendpoint is scoped to push datasets only and will not list tables. UseEVALUATE INFO.TABLES()instead — it returns every table name in the semantic model. Typical agent flow: List Workspaces → List Datasets → Execute DAX Query (EVALUATE INFO.TABLES()) → Execute DAX Query (EVALUATE 'TableName'). Common patterns: • Discover all tables —EVALUATE INFO.TABLES()(use this before querying an unknown dataset) • List all rows of a table —EVALUATE 'Species'• Filter —EVALUATE FILTER('Species', 'Species'[dietType] = "Carnivore")• Top N by column —EVALUATE TOPN(5, 'Species', 'Species'[weightKg], DESC)• Aggregate single value —EVALUATE ROW("Total", SUMX('Species', 'Species'[weightKg]))• Peek at a table's columns —EVALUATE TOPN(0, 'Species')(returns an empty rowset with column names in the response). Limits: max 100,000 rows or 1,000,000 values per query, andDEFINE/multiple-statement queries are not supported via REST. The tenant must have 'Dataset Execute Queries REST API' enabled (admin setting) or the call returns 401/403. PassworkspaceId(from List Workspaces) orworkspaceNameto target a specific workspace, or omit both for My workspace. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.4 -
Export Report
actionExport a Power BI report to a file format such as PDF, PPTX, or PNG. Requires a report ID (use List Reports to find it) and defaults to PDF if no format is given. PassworkspaceId(from List Workspaces) orworkspaceNameto target a specific workspace, or omit both for My workspace. Supportedformatvalues depend on the report type: Power BI reports supportPDF,PPTX,PNG. Paginated reports additionally supportCSV,XLSX,DOCX,XML,MHTML. This API is Premium-only: requires the workspace to be backed by Premium capacity, Premium Per User, or Embedded capacity. On shared (free) capacity it returnsFixedCapacityLimitExceeded/ 403. The export is asynchronous — this tool starts the export, then polls until the job reachesSucceededorFailed(orpollTimeoutSecondselapses), then downloads the file and returns it as base64 along with the job metadata. PNG exports only work for single-page reports. For PPTX/PDF, passpages(array of page names, e.g.,["ReportSection", "ReportSection1"]) to limit the export. See the documentationWritev0.0.3 -
Get Dataset Refresh
actionTriggers a refresh operation for a specified Power BI dataset. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.3 -
Get Refresh History
actionGet the refresh history for a Power BI dataset. Use List Datasets first to resolve a dataset name →datasetId. PassworkspaceId(from List Workspaces) orworkspaceNameto scope to a specific workspace, or omit both for My workspace. Each entry includesrequestId,refreshType(OnDemand,Scheduled,ViaApi, etc.),startTime,endTime,status(Completed,Failed,Disabled,Cancelled,Unknown—Unknownmeans still in progress), andserviceExceptionJsonon failures. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.3
