MCP

Give your agent UiPath Automation Hub tools

Every UiPath Automation Hub 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 UiPath Automation Hub account for each tool call — you store no tokens.

API PROXY

Call the UiPath Automation Hub API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the UiPath Automation Hub 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://automation-hub.uipath.com/api/v1/openapi/authinfo",
})

// Any allowed UiPath Automation Hub 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://automation-hub.uipath.com/api/v1/openapi/authinfo

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hdXRvbWF0aW9uLWh1Yi51aXBhdGguY29tL2FwaS92MS9vcGVuYXBpL2F1dGhpbmZv?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \

SDK

Run UiPath Automation Hub actions from your backend

Connect a user's UiPath Automation Hub account once, then run Create Idea 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: "uipath_automation_hub-create-idea",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    uipath_automation_hub: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    processName: "Process Name",
    processDescription: "Process Description",
  },
})

from pipedream import Pipedream
