MCP

Give your agent Google Cloud Vision tools

Every Google Cloud Vision 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 Google Cloud Vision 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": "google_cloud_vision_api",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Detect Labels in Image:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "google_cloud_vision_api-detect-labels-in-image",
  arguments: {
    projectId: "Project ID",
    file: "File Path or URL",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the Google Cloud Vision API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Google Cloud Vision 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://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo",
})

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

SDK

Run Google Cloud Vision actions from your backend

Connect a user's Google Cloud Vision account once, then run Detect Labels in Image 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: "google_cloud_vision_api-detect-labels-in-image",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    google_cloud_vision_api: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    projectId: "Project ID",
    file: "File Path or URL",
  },
})
