I’m having issues connecting Pipedream MCP to any services, whether Cursor, OpenAI Agent Builder or ChatGPT, it doesn’t seem to connect. I’ve followed the videos, docs, and other resources with no luck.

Hey, I’d love to reproduce this on my side, could you share screenshot/error you’re seeing?

Could you also share the steps you’ve taken?

I’ve followed the instructions on: OpenAI Integration - Pipedream

However, the tools don’t seem to load as you can see in the screenshot, this in Agent Builder, and similar thing happens in Cursor which is also shown in the screenshot below indicated a “red dot” that it’s not connecting even though authorized on the pipedream side.

It’s probably a problem between the chair and the keyboard :stuck_out_tongue: but any guidance would help

Hey Gents,
I am struggling with the same issue :disappointed:

It seems to me that the issue is in what I provide into the API Key / Auth token field.
Does anyone know what is expected there:
• is it Client Secret
• or the access_token received after sending the https://api.pipedream.com/v1/oauth/token request
• maybe something else?
Thank you in advance for any help :pray:

Yea I actually did come across this yesterday, but specifically in OpenAI’s playground / agent builder. I cannot reproduce the issue anywhere else. Have you reproduced it in code?

Not yet, I am in the Agent Builder for now too

I was actually trying to add the MCP as an Agent Tool in the Playground too – but didn’t succeed

Yea, something is up with the implementation there — are you getting a 424? I was seeing that yesterday, but I can’t reproduce it anywhere else, so I do believe it’s unfortunately on OpenAI’s side. We’re working with their team to investigate.

are you getting a 424
When I was trying to connect the production tool (Places API) – I wasn’t getting any error, because I didn’t manage to connect any tool.

But I got this error when I was connecting to a testing tool via the token generated in this instruction:

Could you please advice on my question above:

Yea, that integration is currently broken, we’re working with their team to fix it
