Pipedream MCP Server Details
Pipedream MCP Server is a reference implementation for self-hosting a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It showcases how to manage and serve MCP-based apps and tools in your own environment, providing you with a way to run MCP servers locally or within your organization. Note that this MCP server is a reference implementation and is no longer actively maintained; for production workloads, Pipedream recommends using the remote MCP server, which offers hosted reliability and scaling. The server supports two primary modes and integrates with Pipedream Connect for authentication and API management, enabling automatic app discovery and credential storage with enterprise-grade security.
Use Case
This MCP server allows you to run your own MCP server to manage apps and tools within your own app or company. It supports app-specific endpoints and a dynamic mode that powers tools on sites like chat.pipedream.com. Use cases include connecting accounts, configuring parameters, making API requests via MCP tools, and handling OAuth and credential storage. The server can be run locally or hosted yourself and exposes Streamable HTTP Transport and SSE Transport for client interactions. Example usage from the docs includes running the server, starting with environment configuration, and inspecting requests with the MCP Inspector. Example commands:
cp .env.example .env
# Fill in PD client ID/secret, project ID, and environment
pnpm dev:http
PD_SDK_DEBUG=true pnpm dev:http
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
http://localhost:3010/v1/{external_user_id}/{app}
or for SSE Transport:
http://localhost:3010/{external_user_id}/{app}
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector bun src/stdio.ts
These commands illustrate how to configure and run the MCP server, inspect interactions, and use both HTTP and SSE transport modes. The documentation also notes that you can fetch the list of MCP tools via the Stdio transport by clicking "List Tools".

This MCP server is a reference implementation for self-hosting and is not actively maintained. For production use, Pipedream strongly recommends using the remote MCP server. The reference implementation may not be fully documented, and there are two server usage modes: App-specific endpoints and a Dynamic mode that powers tools on chat.pipedream.com. The SSE interface accepts two route parameters: external_user_id and app.
Sign up for Pipedream, create a project, and create a Pipedream OAuth client. You will need Pipedream API credentials to run the MCP server. Environment variables must be set in a .env file, including PD_CLIENT_ID, PD_CLIENT_SECRET, PD_PROJECT_ID, and PD_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT as shown in the docs.

mcp-server-with-spring-ai
mcp-server-with-spring-ai is a Spring Boot integrated MCP (Model Context Protocol) server example that showcases how to expose executable tools from an MCP server to clients (including LLMs) and how to wire a MCP client to consume those tools. The documentation explains MCP at a high level, outlines the three-layer MCP Java SDK architecture (Client/Server Layer, Session Layer, Transport Layer), and demonstrates two sample tools implemented in SellerAccountTools. This repo emphasizes how an MCP server can connect to external data sources (e.g., a PostgreSQL DB) and expose tools that an AI model can invoke to retrieve data, with the example illustrating tool invocation and automatic tool selection by prompts.
