Pipedream: Integration layer for AI agents with managed auth and 10,000+ tools across 3,000+ APIs.
Pipedream is an integration layer for AI agents, offering managed auth and 10,000+ prebuilt tools across 3,000+ APIs. It is free to build and test in development, with no credit card required; paid production use starts with the Startup plan at $99 per month, which includes 100 external users and 10,000 usage credits. A Business plan with custom annual pricing adds SSO, SCIM, HIPAA, dedicated egress IPs, SLAs and dedicated Slack support.
What is Pipedream?
Pipedream pitches itself as 'the integration layer for AI agents'. Developers point any MCP client at Pipedream's remote server to give agents 10,000+ tools, or call any of 3,000+ APIs directly through the Connect proxy, which injects auth headers automatically. Pipedream runs the full authorization flow — hosted OAuth clients, secure token storage and automatic refresh — and credentials are encrypted at rest and scoped per project. A separate product, Conduit, is an early-access gateway that lets employees connect apps to AI agents with SSO, access policies and an audit trail.
