## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `userId` | `string` | Yes | The unique identifier of the user. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `firstName` | `string` | No | The first name of the user. |
| `lastName` | `string` | No | The last name of the user. |
| `email` | `string` | No | The email address of the user. |
| `login` | `string` | No | The login for the user. |
| `mobilePhone` | `string` | No | The mobile phone number of the user. |
| `typeId` | `string` | No | The ID of the user type. Add this value if you want to create a user with a non-default user type. The user type determines which schema applies to that user. After a user has been created, the user can only be assigned a different user type by an administrator through a full replacement (PUT) operation. Options are loaded from the connected account. |

## 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": "okta",
      },
    },
  },
)

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: "okta-update-user",
  arguments: {
    userId: "User ID",
    firstName: "First Name",
  },
})
```
