## Description

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `projectId` | `string` | Yes | The Id of the target project. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `name` | `string` | Yes | Name of the new automation run. |
| `source` | `string` | Yes | Name of the source for the new automation run. If this source does not already exist in the target project, Testmo automatically creates a new one. It is recommended to keep source names short. Good examples are backend, frontend or mobile-iphone. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `config` | `string` | No | Name of the configuration for the new automation run. |
| `configId` | `string` | No | ID of the configuration for the new automation run. If both config and configId are specified, configId is given precedence. |
| `milestone` | `string` | No | Name of the milestone for the new automation run. |
| `milestoneId` | `string` | No | ID of the milestone for the new automation run. If both milestone and milestoneId are specified, milestoneId is given precedence. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `tags` | `string[]` | No | List of tags for the new automation run. If a milestone in the same project has one or more matching automation tags, the new automation run is automatically linked to that milestone (unless milestone or milestoneId is also specified). |
| `artifacts` | `string[]` | No | List of externally stored test artifacts to link to the new automation run (such as log files, screenshots or test data). See de documentation for details |
| `fields` | `string[]` | No | List of fields to attach to the new automation run (such as environment variables, errors or terminal output). See de documentation for details |
| `links` | `string[]` | No | List of links to attach to the new automation run (such as a link back to the build in the CI tool that triggered the tests). See de documentation for details |

## Run it

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-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "testmo",
      },
    },
  },
)

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: "testmo-create-automation-run",
  arguments: {
    projectId: "Project Id",
    name: "Name",
  },
})
```
