OK, I haven't tried this yet (I'm not even sure how I would try it (for me, time is the big limiter on all of this)) but it looks pretty exciting to me. The idea is that the product - called 'Pipedream' acts as middleware (specifically, a model control protocol (MCP) between OpenAI and some 2,700 APIs and 10,000 tools. Even more, "Pipedream Connect includes built-in user authentication for every MCP server, which means you don't need to build any authorization flows or deal with token storage and refresh in order to make authenticated requests on behalf of your users." I can't verify that any of these claims are valid, but I really like the sound of them.
