IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Algolia account once, then configure and run Save Records from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "algolia-save-records",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
algolia: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
indexName: "Index Name",
records: ["Records From JSON Objects"],
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-PD-Environment: production" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
{
requestInit: {
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
"x-pd-project-id": "{project_id}",

},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "algolia-save-records",
arguments: {
indexName: "Index Name",
records: ["Records From JSON Objects"],
},
})SCHEMA
Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
indexName Index Name | string | The name of the index Required Dynamic |
records Records From JSON Objects | string[] | The records to add to the index. Each record should be a JSON object. Eg. {"objectID": "1", "name": "Jane Doe"}. For a better user experience, you can use the CSV File To Objects Helper Function action to convert a CSV file to an array of objects and then map the objects to the records field here as a Custom Expression. Eg. {{steps.csv_file_to_objects.$return_value}}. Required |

Tool details
Behavior hints are published with the component in the Pipedream registry and surface as MCP tool annotations, so an agent can reason about a tool before it calls it.
