runs.startFromLeads
Start a campaign from leads already pushed in with selda_add_lead, selected by the source label you gave them. No discovery, Selda writes a message per lead from the analysis that came with it, and stops at the drafts.
| Endpoint | POST /mcp/run |
| Scope | pipeline |
| Sandbox key | refused |
| Extra entitlement | none |
| MCP tools | selda_start_campaign_from_leads |
| Convex function | campaignRunner/importLeads:startRunFromLeadsFromApiKey |
A free sandbox key is refused: it runs the discovery and research engine: web search, crawls, model calls, per-lead credits.

What Selda fills in
You never send these. The HTTP layer overwrites them from the API key, which is what keeps one organisation’s data out of another’s reach.
| Argument | Filled in from |
|---|---|
orgId | your organisation, resolved from the API key |

}Example response
Every endpoint answers in the same envelope.
{
"value": <the function's return value>,
"request_id": "req_..."
}The shape of value is not documented here. campaignRunner/importLeads:startRunFromLeadsFromApiKey declares no returns validator, so there is nothing to derive it from, and a shape written out by hand here is a shape that goes stale without anything noticing. Call it once against a test key and read what comes back.
On failure the body is { "error": { "type", "code", "message", "request_id" }, "request_id" } and request_id is echoed in the X-Request-Id header.
Generated from convex/lib/mcpRegistry.ts. Nothing in this reference sends: launchRun is in no
registry and never will be, so a script can prepare a campaign completely and a person still
presses send in the app.
