Pipedream Connect has the broadest catalog here: managed auth for 3,000+ APIs and 10,000+ prebuilt actions and triggers, all published on GitHub so you can extend any tool or write your own. Agents can reach them through one remote MCP endpoint with built-in tool discovery, or through the SDK, and each tool runs with the connected account of the user the agent acts for. When no prebuilt tool fits, the Connect proxy sends any HTTP request to a supported API and attaches the user's credentials, which keeps tokens out of your servers. Hosted Connect Link flows mean there is no auth UI to build, and you can bring your own OAuth clients. The free tier includes every feature but only in development. Going live needs the Startup plan at $99 a month, which covers 100 external users and 10,000 usage credits, then $2 per user and $0.012 per credit. That makes it slightly pricier than Composio for small launches.

Who it is for

Product teams that need the widest app coverage for customer-facing agents and want a proxy for endpoints without a prebuilt tool.
