MCP
Give your agent World News API tools
Every World News API 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 World News API 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": "world_news_api",
},
},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// e.g. run Extract News:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "world_news_api-extract-news",
arguments: {
url: "URL",
analyze: true,
},
})# access_token: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide

Call the World News API API directly
For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the World News API 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.worldnewsapi.com/search-news",
})
// Any allowed World News API 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.worldnewsapi.com/search-news
curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkud29ybGRuZXdzYXBpLmNvbS9zZWFyY2gtbmV3cw?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \

Run World News API actions from your backend
Connect a user's World News API account once, then run Extract News 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: "world_news_api-extract-news",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
