Set up
Use Python 3.11+ or Node.js 24.8+, a Notte API key, and your own Pipedream project and OAuth client. Clone the Notte repository and openexamples/pipedream. Run uv sync --locked or npm ci. Set NOTTE_API_KEY, PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID, PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET, PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID and PIPEDREAM_EXTERNAL_USER_ID, then run uv run --locked python demo.py or npm start.
The demo reads example.com, lists the selected app’s tools, and returns a tool count, stopped browser ID, and optional tool-call completion flag. PIPEDREAM_APP defaults to github; Pipedream requests use its development environment.
Connections and actions
Keep credentials server-side and derive Pipedream’s external user ID from your authenticated application. Pipedream manages provider connections; your Notte key only authenticates browser requests. Runuv run --locked python demo.py --discover or npm start -- --discover to include tool names and input schemas from every discovery page in the JSON output. Treat this app metadata as private. Unset PIPEDREAM_ACTION_FILE first; discovery mode rejects an action file and never executes a tool call.
Tool discovery does not make every advertised action read-only. To call one tool, select its name and input schema from --discover, obtain the required approval, and complete its connection flow. Store a JSON object with name and arguments in a private file outside your checkout, then set PIPEDREAM_ACTION_FILE to its path. The example verifies the offered name, rejects MCP errors, and discards provider output. Its completion flag confirms a successful MCP response, not a verified vendor side effect. Pipedream can return a hosted Connect Link when an action needs authorization; discovery alone does not start OAuth.
The example owns a browser with a three-minute lifetime and closes it on success, failure or cancellation. It does not add a Notte OAuth UI or automatically attach connected-app tools to Notte Agent API runs.
Native protocol tests cover a real Notte browser with local Pipedream OAuth/MCP fixtures, including synthetic tool-call success/error, pagination, unoffered-tool rejection and browser cleanup during cancellation. Hosted Pipedream OAuth and vendor action execution have not been tested.
