IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Connecteam account once, then configure and run Create Shift 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: "connecteam-create-shift",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
connecteam: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
schedulerId: "Scheduler ID",
startTime: "Start Time",
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

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:

arguments: {
