`skyvern_run_task`

Pack: skyvern · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/skyvern_run_task for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Start a Skyvern browser-agent run against a website that publishes no API (search forms, logins, multi-step lookups), described in plain language, and wait briefly for it. Returns the extracted output if the run finishes within wait_seconds (default 20); otherwise returns finished false and a run_id to continue with skyvern_get_run. Runs take seconds to minutes and are billed to your Skyvern account per step. Requires your own Skyvern API key as _apiKey.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`prompt`	string	yes	What the agent should do and return, e.g. “Search for Wikimedia Foundation and return its EIN”.
`url`	string	no	Starting page, e.g. the search form. Omit to let Skyvern choose.
`data_extraction_schema`	object	no	Optional JSON Schema for the output; strongly recommended so the result is structured.
`max_steps`	number	no	Cap on browser steps (billed per step). Default ${DEFAULT_MAX_STEPS}.
`wait_seconds`	number	no	How long to wait for the result before returning the run_id (0 to ${MAX_WAIT_S}, default ${MAX_WAIT_S}). 0 starts the run and returns immediately.
`_apiKey`	string	no
