MCP

Give your agent IFTTT tools

Every IFTTT 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 IFTTT account for each tool call — you store no tokens.

Pipedream Connect

// 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": "ifttt",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Trigger Event with JSON:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "ifttt-trigger-event-with-json",
  arguments: {
    webhookKey: "Webhook Key",
    eventName: "Event Name",
  },
})

# access_token: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}",
    "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": "ifttt",

API PROXY

Call the IFTTT API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the IFTTT 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://connect.ifttt.com//v2/me",
})

// Any allowed IFTTT 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://connect.ifttt.com//v2/me

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb25uZWN0LmlmdHR0LmNvbS8vdjIvbWU?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "x-pd-environment: production"

SDK

Run IFTTT actions from your backend

Connect a user's IFTTT account once, then run Trigger Event with JSON 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: "ifttt-trigger-event-with-json",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    ifttt: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    webhookKey: "Webhook Key",
    eventName: "Event Name",
  },
})

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="ifttt-trigger-event-with-json",
    external_user_id="{external_user_id}",  # any stable ID for this user in your system
    configured_props={
        "ifttt": {"authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx"},
        "webhookKey": "Webhook Key",
        "eventName": "Event Name",
    },
)

curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-PD-Environment: production" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -d '{

      "ifttt": { "authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx" },
      "webhookKey": "Webhook Key",
      "eventName": "Event Name"
    }
  }'
