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: "chatpdf-chat-with-pdf",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
chatpdf: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
sourceId: "Source ID",
messages: ["Messages"],
},
})

await mcp.connect(transport)

// fill the arguments itself:
