What Pipedream is
Pipedream is an integration layer for AI agents that provides managed authentication and tools across thousands of APIs. Its Workflows product connects services using JavaScript or Python code control, or a no-code drag-and-drop builder. The Apps catalog lists 3,223 apps and 14,957 registry tools. Integrations can include prebuilt actions that write to APIs and triggers that stream events to apps in real time. Pipedream Connect offers MCP tools and an API proxy that attaches users’ credentials to requests. The service handles hosted OAuth flows, token storage, and automatic credential refresh. The Free plan includes development features, connectors, prebuilt tools and triggers, unlimited team members, and community support, but excludes production use and usage credits. Each action, MCP tool call, Connect proxy request, or deployed trigger event uses one credit per 30 seconds of compute. Startup includes 100 users and 10,000 usage credits, with email support; Business lists features including HIPAA and dedicated Slack support. Startup costs $99 a month with annual billing or $150 a month with monthly billing.
