MCP

Give your agent Govee tools

Every Govee 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 Govee 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"),

API PROXY

Call the Govee API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Govee API with the connected user's credentials attached. You store no tokens and write no refresh logic.

Pipedream Connect

const resp = await pd.proxy.get({
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  accountId: "apn_xxxxxxx",
  url: "https://openapi.api.govee.com/router/api/v1/user/devices",
})

// Any allowed Govee 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://openapi.api.govee.com/router/api/v1/user/devices

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuYXBpLmFwaS5nb3ZlZS5jb20vcm91dGVyL2FwaS92MS91c2VyL2RldmljZXM?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "x-pd-environment: production"

SDK

Run Govee actions from your backend

Connect a user's Govee account once, then run Control Device on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.

Pipedream Connect

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: "govee-control-device",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    govee: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    deviceId: "Device ID",
    commandType: "Command Type",
  },
})

from pipedream import Pipedream

pd = Pipedream(
    client_id="{oauth_client_id}",
    client_secret="{oauth_client_secret}",
    project_id="{project_id}",
    project_environment="production",
)

result = pd.actions.run(
    id="govee-control-device",
    external_user_id="{external_user_id}",  # any stable ID for this user in your system
