Automate Apify runs with Mastra AI

Integrate `run_actor` into your agent workflows to kick off web extraction tasks based on specific triggers. You can define custom input configurations to target exactly the sites you need. This setup allows your agents to handle complex sequences. If a run hits an issue, your workflow can catch the exception and retry the job automatically.

Manage dynamic queues in Mastra AI

Use `push_to_queue` to feed new URLs to your scrapers in real-time. Your agents can discover content and immediately add it to the active crawl, making your data collection smarter. It turns your scraper into a living system. You don't have to restart jobs just to add a few more pages to the queue.

Track Apify events via Mastra AI webhooks

List your active webhooks with `list_webhooks` to ensure your workflows react to completion events. You can build logic that triggers the next step of your pipeline as soon as the data is ready. It keeps your agents synchronized with the scraper. No more polling for results if you can just listen for the success signal.

Setup guide

Set up Apify 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 Apify 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: "apify-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "apify-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

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