MCP

Give your agent MoDeck tools

Every MoDeck 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 MoDeck 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": "modeck",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Create Render:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "modeck-create-render",
  arguments: {
    deck: "Deck Name",
    name: "Name",
  },
})

# access_token: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide

API PROXY

Call the MoDeck API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the MoDeck 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.modeck.io/listdecks",
})

// Any allowed MoDeck 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.modeck.io/listdecks

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkubW9kZWNrLmlvL2xpc3RkZWNrcw?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "x-pd-environment: production"

SDK

Run MoDeck actions from your backend

Connect a user's MoDeck account once, then run Create Render 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: "modeck-create-render",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    modeck: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    deck: "Deck Name",
    name: "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="modeck-create-render",
    external_user_id="{external_user_id}",  # any stable ID for this user in your system
    configured_props={
        "modeck": {"authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx"},
        "deck": "Deck Name",
        "name": "Name",
    },
)
