MCP

Give your agent Orbit tools

Every Orbit 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 Orbit 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": "orbit",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Create Activity:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "orbit-create-activity",
  arguments: {
    workspaceSlug: "Workspace Slug",
    workspaceMemberSlug: "Workspace Member Slug",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the Orbit API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Orbit 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://app.orbit.love/api/v1/workspaces",
})

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

SDK

Run Orbit actions from your backend

Connect a user's Orbit account once, then run Create Activity 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: "orbit-create-activity",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    orbit: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    workspaceSlug: "Workspace Slug",
    workspaceMemberSlug: "Workspace Member Slug",
  },
})

EVENTS

Orbit triggers

Event sources your backend can deploy for users and receive through a webhook.

No Orbit triggers are available yet.

MULTI-APP

Use Orbit with other popular apps

Most products don't stop at one integration. Pair Orbit with the other apps your users rely on, and ship use cases that span both.
