MCP
Give your agent Rentman tools
Every Rentman 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 Rentman 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": "rentman",
},
},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// e.g. run Create Item:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "rentman-create-item",
arguments: {
itemType: "Item Type",
},
})# access_token: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}",
"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

Call the Rentman API directly
For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Rentman 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://api.rentman.net/contacts",
})
// Any allowed Rentman 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.rentman.net/contacts
curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkucmVudG1hbi5uZXQvY29udGFjdHM?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
-H "x-pd-environment: production"SDK
Run Rentman actions from your backend
Connect a user's Rentman account once, then run Create Item 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: "rentman-create-item",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
rentman: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
itemType: "Item Type",
},
})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(

Rentman actions
On-demand operations your product or agent can configure and run on behalf of a connected user.
-
Create Item
actionCreates a new item based on the specified type. See the documentationWritev0.0.2 -
Find Item
actionSearches for an item in the system using the item type as the filtering criteria. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.2 -
Update Rentman Item
actionUpdates the details of an existing item based on its type. See the documentationWritev0.0.2
EVENTS
Rentman triggers
Event sources your backend can deploy for users and receive through a webhook.
MULTI-APP
Use Rentman with other popular apps
Most products don't stop at one integration. Pair Rentman with the other apps your users rely on, and ship use cases that span both.
