About Anthropic Alternative MCP Server
Connect your Anthropic account to any AI agent and leverage Claude's capabilities through natural conversation.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and Anthropic Alternative tool infrastructure. Connect 6 tools through the Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution — deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
What you can do
- Model Discovery — List all available Claude models with their IDs and capabilities
- Message API — Send conversations to Claude models and receive responses with configurable max tokens, system prompts and temperature
- Token Counting — Count tokens in messages before sending to estimate costs and context window usage
- Batch Processing — Submit batches of independent message requests for asynchronous, cost-effective processing
The Anthropic Alternative MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Mastra AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Anthropic Alternative MCP Tools for Mastra AI (6)
These 6 tools become available when you connect Anthropic Alternative to Mastra AI via MCP:
cancel_batch_message
Requests that have already been completed cannot be cancelled. Provide the batch ID. This is useful if you submitted a large batch by mistake and want to stop further processing to save costs. Cancel an in-progress batch message request
count_tokens
Requires the model ID and messages array. Returns the total input token count. Useful for estimating API costs and ensuring messages fit within context limits. Count tokens in a message before sending to Claude
create_batch_message
Each request in the batch has its own model, messages, max_tokens, etc. This is more cost-effective than individual requests when you have many independent prompts to process. Returns a batch ID for tracking. Use get_batch_message to check progress. Create a batch of message requests to Claude
get_batch_message
Returns the batch status (in_progress, succeeded, expired, canceling, canceled, failed), request counts (total, succeeded, errored) and individual results. Use the batch ID returned from create_batch_message. Get the status of a batch message request
list_models
Each model returns its ID (e.g. "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"), display name, creation date and capabilities. Use this to discover which models are available and their IDs for use with the send_message tool. List all available Anthropic Claude models
send_message
Requires the model ID (e.g. "claude-sonnet-4-20250514") and messages array in JSON format. Each message must have a "role" ("user" or "assistant") and "content" (text or array of content blocks). Optionally set max_tokens (default 1024), system prompt and temperature (0-1). Returns the assistant's response text. Send a message to Claude (Messages API)
Example Prompts for Anthropic Alternative in Mastra AI
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Mastra AI agent to start working with Anthropic Alternative immediately.
"Send a message to Claude asking 'What is the capital of Brazil?'"
"List all available Claude models."
"Count tokens for a message asking Claude to summarize a 500-word article."
