IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Vestaboard account once, then configure and run Create Message 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: "vestaboard-create-message",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
vestaboard: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
subscriptionId: "Subscription",
text: "Text",
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

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:

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 |
|---|---|---|
subscriptionId Subscription | string | The ID of the Subscription to which to post Required Dynamic |
text Text | string | The message to send to the specified Subscription. If text is specified, lines will be centered horizontally and vertically if possible. Character codes will be inferred for alphanumeric and punctuation, or can be explicitly specified in-line in the message with curly braces containing the character code. Either text or characters must be entered. Optional |
characters Characters | string | A 6x22 two-dimensional array of character codes to send to the specified Subscription. If characters are specified, the characters will be shown in the exact position in the array. See Character Code Reference. Either text or characters must be entered. Optional |

Tool details
Behavior hints are published with the component in the Pipedream registry and surface as MCP tool annotations, so an agent can reason about a tool before it calls it.
