## Description

Send recognition (a bonus) to one or more colleagues on behalf of the authenticated caller. Do not include `@mentions` or the point amount in the `reason` yourself - Bonusly synthesizes those from `recipients` and `amount` automatically. [See the documentation](https://docs.bonus.ly/reference/giverecognition-1)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `recipients` | `string[]` | Yes | One or more recipients - each entry can be a user ID, an email address, or a display name, e.g. john.smith@company.com. Use Search Users to look up one person by name, or List Users In Department, List Users In Location, or List Top-Level Users to recognize a whole roster at once. |
| `amount` | `integer` | Yes | Points to give. Pass 0 only if your company allows zero-point recognition. |
| `reason` | `string` | Yes | Free-form recognition message explaining why you're giving this bonus, e.g. Great work on the product launch!. |
| `hashtag` | `string` | No | One company hashtag, without the leading #, e.g. teamwork. Some Bonusly companies require a hashtag on every recognition - if the tool rejects the request for a missing hashtag, set one here. |

## 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-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "bonusly",
      },
    },
  },
)

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: "bonusly-give-bonus",
  arguments: {
    recipients: ["Recipients"],
    amount: 10,
  },
})
```
