How to Connect and Configure Accounts in Pipedream for Data Querying in a Marking Dashboard App?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

I am new to pipedream and am trying to get my head around how to connect to MCP.
I am developing a marking dashboard, and would like to configure my accounts in pipedream so I can query the data through pipedream. to simplify the data integration in my app.
I have not been able to find an end-to-end example to illustrate the process, so I need some help with this.
Can I pull the data from mcp.pipedream.com, or should I pull it from the SDK?
What is the difference between mcp.pipedream.com and remote.mcp.pipedream.com ?
I would greatly appreciate any help!

Are you connecting your own accounts or are your customers connecting their accounts?

3

my own accounts for now.

4

But in the future your customers’ accounts?

5

Are you building an app for yourself or for other people?

6

yes, that is the goal, but I am not sure how we are going to make that happen. I was thinking that each customer will configure its own endpoint to the MCP, that way we won’t have to deal with the account setup on our end.

7

the app is for myself and others

Check out the developer docs, this is what you want so that your users don’t have to do any configuration outside of your app, nor do you have to do anything re: configuring individual APIs:

I think I already visited that link, but still wrapping my head around it to understamd

I want to pull data using only MCP. The apps will be google_ads, ga4, and klaviyo. How does the setup work? Users connect their apps in the main website, or in the mcp?
What is the mcp url? I see there is mcp.pipe… and remote.mcp.pipe…

See the docs here: Add Pipedream MCP to your app or agent — Pipedream

what is the project id? is it the same as the one in pipedream.com?

13

Yes, please see here: Add Pipedream MCP to your app or agent — Pipedream

14

ok, so pipedream.com for the project, then connect accounts on mcp.pipedream.com ?

15

No, did you see this section in the docs re: connecting accounts? Add Pipedream MCP to your app or agent — Pipedream

16

mcp.pipedream.com is specifically for individual end users who are plugging an MCP server in to a client like Claude or Cursor, you shouldn’t be sending your customers there to configure anything.
