How to Use the APImage MCP in Mastra AI
Wire APImage into Mastra AI to build automated editorial pipelines that generate, edit, and upscale press photos with built-in retries.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect APImage MCP to Mastra AI
Create your Vinkius account to connect APImage to Mastra AI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate generation pipelines with Mastra AI
Handling failed image generation APIs requires automatic retries. When you map an MCP tool into a Mastra workflow, you get exponential backoff out of the box. If the `generate_image` rendering engine stalls, your pipeline tries again instead of crashing the whole job. Chaining text and image operations creates reliable outputs. Set up a workflow that runs `enhance_prompt` first, checks the text format, and then conditionally triggers the actual image creation. You control the exact execution path.
Build resilient editorial tools
Processing large press archives requires conditional routing. Your workflow pulls an image, attempts `remove_background`, and routes complex subjects to a human editor. Mastra handles the branching logic automatically. Upscaling old editorial photos works as a batch process. The `upscale_image` tool plugs into your pipeline to process low-resolution folders. You deploy the entire automated system to your cloud provider with a single command.
Manage complex image transformations
Isolating and replacing specific elements in a graphic takes multiple passes. You string together `image_to_image` followed by `inpaint_image` to execute complex transformations. The APImage MCP Server handles the heavy lifting while Mastra manages the steps. Tracking generation steps matters for auditing. Add `list_generations` at the end of your pipeline to log exactly what the system produced. You store that historical data directly in your own database.

Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
-
@mastra/mcp+@mastra/corepackages - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install dependencies
Run
npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/coreplus your preferred model provider (e.g.@ai-sdk/openai). - 2
Configure the MCPClient
Create an
MCPClientwith your Vinkius endpoint as aURLobject. 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'stoolsobject. All APImage tools become native Mastra tools. - 4
Run with any model
Swap
openai("gpt-4o")for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Callagent.generate()and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.
import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
id: "apimage-mcp-client",

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