MCP

Give your agent PostgreSQL tools

Every PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL 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"),

        "x-pd-app-slug": "postgresql",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Execute SQL Query:

SDK

Run PostgreSQL actions from your backend

Connect a user's PostgreSQL account once, then run Execute SQL Query 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: "postgresql-execute-custom-query",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    postgresql: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    sql: "PostgreSQL Query",
  },
})

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="postgresql-execute-custom-query",
    external_user_id="{external_user_id}",  # any stable ID for this user in your system
    configured_props={
        "postgresql": {"authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx"},
        "sql": "PostgreSQL Query",
    },
)
