MCP

Give your agent Twilio SendGrid tools

Every Twilio SendGrid 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 Twilio SendGrid 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"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,

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

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Add Email to Global Suppression:
const result = await mcp.callTool({

API PROXY

Call the Twilio SendGrid API directly

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

Pipedream Connect

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.sendgrid.com/v3/user/account",
})

// Any allowed Twilio SendGrid 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.sendgrid.com/v3/user/account

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkuc2VuZGdyaWQuY29tL3YzL3VzZXIvYWNjb3VudA?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "x-pd-environment: production"

SDK

Run Twilio SendGrid actions from your backend

Connect a user's Twilio SendGrid account once, then run Add Email to Global Suppression 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: "sendgrid-add-email-to-global-suppression",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    sendgrid: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    recipientEmails: ["Recipient Emails"],
  },
})

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="sendgrid-add-email-to-global-suppression",
    external_user_id="{external_user_id}",  # any stable ID for this user in your system
    configured_props={
        "sendgrid": {"authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx"},
        "recipientEmails": ["Recipient Emails"],
    },
)

curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-PD-Environment: production" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -d '{
    "external_user_id": "{external_user_id}",
    "id": "sendgrid-add-email-to-global-suppression",
    "configured_props": {
      "sendgrid": { "authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx" },
      "recipientEmails": ["Recipient Emails"]
    }
  }'
