MCP Chat by Pipedream lets you talk directly with all the software tools you use.
Built with Vercel AI SDK powered by Pipedream Connect, MCP Chat provides access to >10k tools from >2700 APIs via MCP.
Try prompts like:
- Summarize my recent emails
- Draft a product release announcement based on my team's recent Linear tickets
- Find the latest screenshot in my Google Drive and send it to my team on Slack
- Help me prep for my next meeting — who am I meeting with and what are we discussing?
All the integrations are built by our team and battle-tested, with secure user auth built-in.
It's free and open source (MIT license) so you can use it as a reference implementation to integrate Pipedream Connect into your app, we'd love to hear what you think!
Pipedream has launched mcp.pipedream.com with dedicated MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for 2,500+ integrated apps.
These servers enable AI assistants like Claude and Cursor to securely access and interact with 1000s of APIs through a standard protocol, or deploy Pipedream MCP servers to your agent and add 2,500+ APIs with 10,000+ tools in minutes.
Pipedream handles the auth and tooling so you can focus on shipping.
Not because it isn’t useful (to be honest it looks decidedly useful as an API aggregator service) but the fact that one of its main selling points is for “AI”.
Yet, if we had AI, it would be able to build these integrations itself
AI building the integrations is the approach we are taking at the moment, to the extent that you can store credentials like API keys and Oauth and then make the AI aware of these via a variable like ${googleAPI.SECRET}.
These credentials can then be use in the API node (where the AI can write a custom curl) or the run code component (where the AI can write custom python or js code to make an HTTP request).
Can it automatically update themselves based on changes to the source API? Can it detect ahead of time if APIs have changed? How about understanding the API requirements?
I encourage anyone who is curious to try to build an AI to get an approved client ID / secret from Google to access end user's gmail accounts. Most tier-one apps, such as Google, Zoom, Shopify, etc require a formal application process, third-party security reviews, and much more.
I think my point went over the head here, so to speak.
The fact is “AI” isn’t building these integrations because they aren’t capable. They’re capable of generating some sandbox code, if anything, but full scale integration, that updates itself as APIs change etc?
It’s simply not happening, because they don’t actually reason, because they lack actual intelligence
Honestly I thought it was a joke or /s website at first. I looked at the site/docs and still don’t understand what your service is exactly selling/doing?
