Pipedream Client ID and Client Secret are required in creden

Error message

Pipedream Client ID and Client Secret are required in credentials

What it means

Thrown when either clientId or clientSecret is missing from the Pipedream credential. These are the client-credentials pair used by fetchAccessToken to obtain a bearer token for the MCP server; without both, the OAuth exchange cannot be attempted.

Solutions

1. Open the Pipedream credential and ensure BOTH Client ID and Client Secret are filled.
2. Re-copy both values from the Pipedream app's API credentials section.
3. Check for trailing whitespace/hidden characters; re-paste cleanly.
4. Save and retry.

const clientId = getCredentialParam('clientId', credentialData, nodeData)
const clientSecret = getCredentialParam('clientSecret', credentialData, nodeData)
if (!clientId || !clientSecret) {
    throw new Error('Pipedream Client ID and Client Secret are required')
}

function hasClientCreds(cred: unknown): cred is { clientId: string; clientSecret: string } {
    return typeof cred === 'object' && cred !== null
        && typeof (cred as any).clientId === 'string' && (cred as any).clientId.length > 0
        && typeof (cred as any).clientSecret === 'string' && (cred as any).clientSecret.length > 0
}

try { await pipedream.getTools(nodeData, options) }
catch (e) { if (e instanceof Error && e.message === 'Pipedream Client ID and Client Secret are required in credentials') { /* fill both */ } }

When it happens

Trigger: Pipedream credential has projectId but one of clientId/clientSecret is blank; only one of the two was entered; secret field left empty.

Common situations: User entered only the Client ID; pasted Client Secret into the wrong field; secret cleared on re-edit; app credentials regenerated in Pipedream but not updated here.
