MCP

Give your agent Plainly tools

Every Plainly 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 Plainly 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": "plainly",
      },
    },
  },
)

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 Job:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "plainly-create-render-job",
  arguments: {
    projectId: "Project ID",
    templateId: "Template ID",
  },
})

SDK

Run Plainly actions from your backend

Connect a user's Plainly account once, then run Create Render Job 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: "plainly-create-render-job",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    plainly: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    projectId: "Project ID",
    templateId: "Template ID",
  },
})

MULTI-APP

Use Plainly with other popular apps

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