MCP

Give your agent ManyChat tools

Every ManyChat 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 ManyChat 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-app-slug": "manychat",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

API PROXY

Call the ManyChat API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the ManyChat 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://api.manychat.com/fb/page/getInfo",
})

// Any allowed ManyChat 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://api.manychat.com/fb/page/getInfo

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkubWFueWNoYXQuY29tL2ZiL3BhZ2UvZ2V0SW5mbw?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "x-pd-environment: production"

SDK

Run ManyChat actions from your backend

Connect a user's ManyChat account once, then run Add Tag to User 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: "manychat-add-tag-user",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    manychat: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    userId: "User ID",
    tagId: "Tag Id",
  },
})

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="manychat-add-tag-user",
    external_user_id="{external_user_id}",  # any stable ID for this user in your system
    configured_props={
        "manychat": {"authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx"},
        "userId": "User ID",
        "tagId": "Tag Id",
    },
)
