To expand on @Chris White's comment:

If you want to use the script as a source then use the Exec Source.

If you want to use it as an interceptor then you could write a custom interceptor. However, performance would be very poor as you would be starting a new process for each message (or perhaps batch). I would recommend a custom Java interceptor.
