About the Company

Microagents is building a new way to orchestrate AI. The platform allows users to group together specialized AI agents—each with domain-specific knowledge and access to different tools—and assign them complex tasks. These agents work collaboratively, leveraging integrations with third-party services to perform actions and automate workflows on the user’s behalf.

This modular approach to AI agent collaboration depends on the ability to connect seamlessly with external software. Each integration isn’t just a backend connector—it represents a functional extension of what each agent can do.

Problem

From the start, the core challenge was scale. To make Microagents useful out of the box, the team needed integrations with a wide range of services—CRM tools, communication platforms, databases, and more. But as an early-stage startup, building and maintaining those integrations in-house wasn’t realistic.

Without integrations, the agents couldn’t perform meaningful work. But wiring up OAuth flows, maintaining APIs, and registering apps with every service provider would have taken months—time the team didn’t have. Microagents needed to get to market quickly to validate demand and iterate toward product-market fit.

Solution

Pipedream provided the infrastructure to make that leap. By using Pipedream Connect as an MCP server, Microagents enabled their agents to call external APIs securely and reliably. Pipedream’s managed authentication eliminated the need to build secure OAuth flows from scratch, while its library of over 2,500 apps meant agents could immediately act on behalf of users across a wide ecosystem.

Implementation was fast. While the broader platform took time to build, spinning up the MCP servers with Pipedream was straightforward. Compared to other integration platforms like Composio, Pipedream’s wider coverage of apps combined with higher quality tools made it the better fit for Microagents’ needs.

This foundation let the team focus on building the agent collaboration layer without getting bogged down in integration plumbing. With Pipedream handling the connections, Microagents launched a more powerful product faster—and positioned themselves to scale as user demand grows.
