## Description

Create a named shift rate for GP (Global Payroll) time tracking in Deel. Shift rates define how time-tracked work is compensated. `external_id` is a unique identifier you assign (e.g., `rate-overtime-001`); use this ID when creating shifts via **Create Shifts**. `type` must be one of: `MULTIPLIER_PERCENTAGE` (e.g., 150 = 1.5x pay), `PER_HOUR_FLAT_RATE` (fixed hourly amount), `PER_UNIT_FLAT_RATE` (fixed per-unit amount). [See the documentation](https://developer.deel.com/api/reference/endpoints/time-tracking/create-time-tracking-shift-rate)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | `string` | Yes | A human-readable name for this shift rate (e.g., Overtime Rate, Holiday Rate). |
| `externalId` | `string` | Yes | Your unique identifier for this shift rate (e.g., rate-overtime-001). Used when referencing this rate in shifts. |
| `type` | `string` | No | The type of rate calculation. One of: MULTIPLIER_PERCENTAGE, PER_HOUR_FLAT_RATE, PER_UNIT_FLAT_RATE. |
| `value` | `string` | No | The rate value. For MULTIPLIER_PERCENTAGE, use a percentage (e.g., 150 for 1.5x). For flat rates, use the amount. |

## 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": "deel",
      },
    },
  },
)

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: "deel-create-shift-rate",
  arguments: {
    name: "Name",
    externalId: "External ID",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

```ts

  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "deel-create-shift-rate",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    deel: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    name: "Name",
