Why Does the Documentation Link for Pipedream Task Scheduler's Helper Functions Lead to a 404 Error?

In this action: Helper Functions - Pipedream Task Scheduler - Schedule Task
the documentation link runs into a 404:
https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/blob/master/components/pipedream/sources/new-scheduled-tasks/README.md

Can you try the one in the Pipedream app?

Where was this link from?

its the one of the app:

Thanks, I pushed a fix

Here a video about a connectivity issue with “Helper Functions MCP Server | Pipedream”:

As you can see, i tried with chrome, brave and firefox but none worked :pensive:

I think this happens because the Helper Functions do not require an auth, is that right? I could repro with Utils and Formatting

Hi ,
i tested them from claude desktop and here’s a screenshot of the output :pensive:

Yea the MCP servers don’t handle apps so well that don’t require with, that’s a rough spot we need to improve.

What’s the core use case?

Broad use case: to allow claude projects to run pipedream workflows.

As mcp.pipedream.com/ appX / available-actions are limited, being able to run pipedream workflows via mcp from claude would open a door to many possibilities.

Example: “claude, run my Google Apps Script named 'export leads”, or “claude, run a specific phyton script that will sync new data from crm1 into crm2”.

Now this can be done indirectly via workarounds, for example, i can ask claude to type “RUN” into a specific cell of google sheet, if instruct Google Apps Script to use Cell Edited as a trigger to RUN an app, but it would be more directly if we can just run pipedream workflows directly from claude as this would allow us to run also pyhton scripts from claude instructions.
