## Description

Adds records to an index. [See the documentation](https://www.algolia.com/doc/libraries/javascript/v5/helpers/#save-records).

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `indexName` | `string` | Yes | The name of the index Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `records` | `string[]` | Yes | 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}}. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
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 accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "algolia",
      },
    },
  },
)

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"],
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

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"],
