## Description

Executes a computation query using the Wolfram Alpha API. [See the documentation](https://products.wolframalpha.com/api/documentation)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `input` | `string` | Yes | Text specifying the input string. |
| `width` | `string` | No | Specify an approximate width limit for text and tables. Eg. 200, 500. This parameter does not affect plots or graphics. Width values are approximate; behavior may vary for different content. |
| `maxWidth` | `string` | No | Specify an extended maximum width for large objects. Eg. 200, 500. This parameter does not affect plots or graphics. Width values are approximate; behavior may vary for different content. |
| `plotWidth` | `string` | No | Specify an approximate width limit for plots and graphics. Eg. 100, 200. This parameter does not affect text or tables. Width values are approximate; behavior may vary for different content. |
| `mag` | `string` | No | Specify magnification of objects within a pod. Eg. 0.5, 1.0, 2.0. Changing this parameter does not affect the overall size of pods. |
| `assumption` | `string` | No | Specifies an assumption, such as the meaning of a word or the value of a formula variable. Eg. *C.pi-_*Movie, DateOrder_**Day.Month.Year--. Assumptions made implicitly by the API. Values for this parameter are given by the input properties of <value> subelements of <assumption> elements in XML results. |

## 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": "wolfram_alpha",
      },
    },
  },
)

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: "wolfram_alpha-perform-computation",
  arguments: {
    input: "Input",
    width: "Width",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

```ts
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: "wolfram_alpha-perform-computation",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    wolfram_alpha: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    input: "Input",
    width: "Width",
  },
})

console.log(result)
