MCP

Give your agent Open Exchange Rates tools

Every Open Exchange Rates 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 Open Exchange Rates 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"),
  {
    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": "open_exchange_rates",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Convert Currency:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "open_exchange_rates-convert-currency",
  arguments: {
    value: "Value",
    from: "From",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the Open Exchange Rates API directly

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

const resp = await pd.proxy.get({
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  accountId: "apn_xxxxxxx",
  url: "https://openexchangerates.org/api/usage.json",
})

// Any allowed Open Exchange Rates endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.

SDK

Run Open Exchange Rates actions from your backend

Connect a user's Open Exchange Rates account once, then run Convert Currency on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.

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: "open_exchange_rates-convert-currency",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    open_exchange_rates: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    value: "Value",
    from: "From",
  },
})
