Pipedream Project ID is required in credentials

Error message

Pipedream Project ID is required in credentials

What it means

Thrown when the Pipedream credential has no projectId. The projectId is sent as the x-pd-project-id header to the Pipedream MCP server and is required to scope tool access, so getTools rejects early if it is missing.

Solutions

1. Open the bound Pipedream credential and enter the Project ID from the Pipedream dashboard (Workspace > Projects).
2. Confirm the projectId corresponds to the workspace/environment you intend to use.
3. Save the credential and re-run the node.

const projectId = getCredentialParam('projectId', credentialData, nodeData)
if (!projectId) {
    throw new Error('Pipedream Project ID is required')
}

function hasProjectId(cred: unknown): cred is { projectId: string } {
    return typeof cred === 'object' && cred !== null
        && typeof (cred as any).projectId === 'string'
        && (cred as any).projectId.trim().length > 0
}

try { await pipedream.getTools(nodeData, options) }
catch (e) { if (e instanceof Error && e.message === 'Pipedream Project ID is required in credentials') { /* bind projectId */ } }

When it happens

Trigger: The selected Pipedream credential exists but its 'projectId' field is empty; the credential component was filled partially; projectId was cleared during an edit.

Common situations: User created the credential but skipped projectId; copied an old credential schema without projectId; the field is mislabeled or the value was not saved.
