MCP
One MCP session, both toolsets
One session gives your product or agent every Home Assistant and You Need a Budget 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"),

Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,

await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// One list, both toolsets: Home Assistant and You Need a Budget tools arrive
// together, each keyed by its own app's slug.

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.
