## Description

Describe what you need in plain language — Strale picks the best capability and executes it in one step. Use this when you don't know the exact capability slug. If you already know the slug, use **Execute Capability** instead; if you only want to discover matches without running anything, use **Search Capabilities**. [See the documentation](https://strale.dev/docs)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `task` | `string` | Yes | A natural-language description of what you need (e.g. "verify a Swedish company", "validate this VAT number"). |
| `inputs` | `object` | No | Input parameters for the capability as a JSON object (e.g. { "vat_number": "SE556677889901" } or { "email": "ops@example.com" }). The required fields depend on the capability being called. |
| `maxPriceCents` | `integer` | No | Maximum price in euro cents you are willing to pay per execution. |
| `dryRun` | `boolean` | No | If true, validates the request and returns the matched capability without executing or charging. |

## 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": "strale",
      },
    },
  },
)

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: "strale-search-and-execute",
  arguments: {
    task: "Task",
    inputs: "Inputs",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

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

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "strale-search-and-execute",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    strale: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    task: "Task",
    inputs: "Inputs",
  },
})

console.log(result)
