IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Dropbox account once, then configure and run Upload Multiple Files 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: "dropbox-upload-multiple-files",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
dropbox: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
path: "Path",
filesPaths: ["File Paths or URLs"],
},
})
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:

name: "dropbox-upload-multiple-files",
arguments: {
path: "Path",

Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
path Path | string | The folder to upload to. Type the folder name to search for it in the user's Dropbox. Required Dynamic |
filesPaths File Paths or URLs | string[] | Provide an array of either file URLs or paths to a files in the /tmp directory (for example, /tmp/myFile.pdf). Required |
filenames File Names | string[] | An array of filenames for the new files. Please provide a name for each URL and/or Path. Make sure to include the file extensions. Required |
autorename Autorename | boolean | If there's a conflict, have Dropbox try to autorename the file to avoid the conflict. Optional |
mute Mute | boolean | Normally, users are made aware of any file modifications in their Dropbox account via notifications in the client software. If true, this will not result in a user notification. Optional |
strictConflict Strict Conflict | boolean | Be more strict about how each WriteMode detects conflict. For example, always return a conflict error when mode = WriteMode.update and the given "rev" doesn't match the existing file's "rev", even if the existing file has been deleted. This also forces a conflict even when the target path refers to a file with identical contents. Optional |
mode Mode | string | Selects what to do if the file already exists. Optional |
syncDir SyncDir | dir | Optional |
