Hey, I’m trying to use the Pipedream MCP, how can I use file operations with the MCP? It requires a /tmp file path

2

We’re working on address this now – here’s the ticket where we’re tracking this work: [FEATURE] As a Connect developer, I want to download or sync files from the /tmp storage in Pipedream's EE to my own destination so I can access the file · Issue #16387 · PipedreamHQ/pipedream · GitHub

3

What kind of file operations are you performing?

4

I noticed it on Slack send message with a file

5

Is it possible to just give a base64 string, cause we can convert before upload very easily?

6

The idea is that we’ll just let you pass a remote URL instead of referencing a tmp file

7

Gotcha, when do you expect this to be ready?

8

I don’t have an exact eta but should be coming in the next couple weeks

any updates here?

17

Yes! We just shipped this feature and published docs:

We haven’t yet announced it, so if you have any feedback please let me know!

18

amazing! does pipedream mcp come directly integrated here or do we need to do some additional work?

19

for example if we pass a local path to the mcp prop, will it automatically upload and sync stash?

20

We’re working to add an explicit flag to the tool definition so that the MCP server knows when to set stashId, because right now I don’t believe it’ll organically be able to figure that out, so that may be the missing piece here.
