Public changelog's last entry is 1 October 2025.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cooper (Mandl)\n\n1. Don't plan to call Cooper from another agent. It's operated by people in its web workspace\n2. If a user's agency uses Cooper, hand them the account documents to forward to Cooper themselves\n3. Don't send client insurance data or PHI to Cooper without the agency's signed agreement and, for PHI, a business associate agreement\n\n### Pipedream API + MCP\n\n1. Pass your own user ID as `x-pd-external-user-id` so each user's accounts stay separate\n2. Send `x-pd-app-slug` to load one app's tools rather than 10,000\n3. Use a Connect rate-limit token (`x-pd-rate-limit`) to cap runaway loops per user\n4. Check `isError` on tool results before treating a call as done\n5. Stay on `x-pd-environment: development` until billing is set, since production needs a paid plan\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cooper (Mandl) or Pipedream API + MCP?\n\nPipedream API + MCP scores 65.5 (B) on agent readiness against Cooper (Mandl)'s 16.4 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Can an agent call Cooper (Mandl) and Pipedream API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Cooper (Mandl).
