How to Use the Apache APISIX MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How does Mastra AI manage Apache APISIX workflows?

You define agents that call tools like listservices or putglobalrule. Mastra AI executes these in a sequence, allowing for conditional logic if an operation fails.

Q: Can I use Apache APISIX with Mastra AI for auto-scaling?

You can build a loop that calls getcontrolhealthcheck and triggers putupstream updates. It adjusts your traffic routing based on the real-time health of your nodes.

Q: How does Apache APISIX handle Mastra AI tool approval?

You set the requireToolApproval flag in your agent configuration. Any destructive call like deletessl requires a manual sign-off before it executes.

Build complex, failure-aware gateway workflows for Apache APISIX using Mastra AI.

Orchestrate Apache APISIX gateway logic

Mastra AI lets you chain operations into reliable workflows. You can call `get_upstream` to check status, then use `put_upstream` to shift traffic if nodes are failing. It handles the logic flow so you don't have to write custom scripts for basic maintenance. The agent ensures the sequence completes or fails safely.

Automate routine gateway cleanup

Use your agent to audit your configuration regularly. You can run `list_routes` and automatically `delete_route` for any endpoints that haven't seen traffic in weeks. It keeps your gateway footprint clean without human intervention. The system logs every action taken by the tool set.

Manage consumer groups with Mastra AI

Define complex rules for user access. Your workflow can check `list_consumer_groups` and then run `put_consumer` to adjust access levels based on external database triggers. This ensures your API gateway security stays current. It handles the backoff and retries if the network hits a snag.

Setup guide

Set up Apache APISIX MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All Apache APISIX tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "apache-apisix-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "apache-apisix-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Apache APISIX Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Apache APISIX tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Apache APISIX transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);

Common questions about Apache APISIX MCP in Mastra AI

You define agents that call tools like `list_services` or `put_global_rule`. Mastra AI executes these in a sequence, allowing for conditional logic if an operation fails.

You can build a loop that calls `get_control_healthcheck` and triggers `put_upstream` updates. It adjusts your traffic routing based on the real-time health of your nodes.

You set the `requireToolApproval` flag in your agent configuration. Any destructive call like `delete_ssl` requires a manual sign-off before it executes.

Mastra AI manages the retry policy for you. If a tool call fails due to a network blip, the framework attempts the operation again based on your defined settings.

Your gateway credentials and sensitive consumer metadata are never logged by the framework. The MCP Server transmits these as ephemeral payloads only during the active task.
