CONNECT APP

Build with Vimeo

Vimeo enables you to watch videos in HD with all the video tools you need, and no ads: upload, screen record, live stream, edit, collaborate, share, and manage your videos.

MCP

Give your agent Vimeo tools

Every Vimeo 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 Vimeo 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": "vimeo",
      },
    },
  },
)

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

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Add Video To Album:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "vimeo-add-video-to-album",
  arguments: {
    videoId: "Video ID",
    albumUri: "Album URI",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the Vimeo API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Vimeo 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.vimeo.com/me",
})

// Any allowed Vimeo endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.

SDK

Run Vimeo actions from your backend

Connect a user's Vimeo account once, then run Add Video To Album 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: "vimeo-add-video-to-album",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    vimeo: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    videoId: "Video ID",
    albumUri: "Album URI",
  },
})
