Pipedream
Developer-first integration platform with code steps and AI agents
Pipedream is an integration platform for developers that runs event-driven workflows mixing prebuilt actions for thousands of apps with custom Node.js, Python, Go or Bash code. It also provides managed authentication and MCP servers so AI agents can call third-party APIs, and Workday announced its acquisition of the company in late 2025. A free tier with limited credits sits alongside paid plans.
