Pipedream
Pipedream provides integration infrastructure for AI agents: managed authentication and 10,000+ prebuilt tools across 3,000+ APIs, plus MCP and an API proxy.
About this tool
Pipedream focuses on connecting AI agents to the apps people use. Its Connect product handles the hard parts between an agent and third-party APIs: users authorise their accounts through a ready-made link or your own interface, and Pipedream stores and refreshes the credentials, injecting fresh tokens into each request.
Developers can use more than 10,000 prebuilt tools and triggers across over 3,000 APIs, call any endpoint through a raw proxy, or connect via MCP. For companies, a gateway lets employees safely link their apps to AI agents with single sign-on, access rules, permissions set per user and complete audit logs. Building and testing are free, and production plans are priced by connected external users.

Employee AI gateway

Who is it for?
- A startup lets its AI assistant act in each customer’s Google, Slack and CRM accounts.
- An enterprise governs which internal apps employees can connect to AI agents.
- A developer prototypes an agent integration for free before going to production.
Before you choose
Production costs grow with the number of external users who connect accounts.
