How to Use the Apollo.io MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I initialize the Apollo.io tools in Mastra AI?

Import the @mastra/mcp package and instantiate a client with your Vinkius URL. Call the list method and spread the output directly into your agent's tool array.

Q: Can Mastra AI retry failed Apollo.io searches?

Yes. If searchcontacts times out, the framework's workflow engine automatically attempts the call again based on your configured backoff strategy.

Q: How do I chain actions in my workflow?

Create a multi-step execution path. Step one uses getcontact to fetch details, and step two passes that exact payload into your downstream sequence functions.

Build resilient outbound sales workflows connecting Apollo.io to Mastra AI with automatic retries and conditional branching.

Perplexity

Conditional prospecting pipelines

Hardcode your ideal customer profile logic directly into a workflow. Your agent runs `search_organizations` to find target companies, then evaluates the results. If the firm matches your revenue criteria, it automatically triggers `search_contacts` to find the decision-makers. Mastra handles the branching naturally. You never write nested callbacks. The system evaluates the Apollo data and decides whether to proceed or pivot the search parameters based on your predefined rules.

Resilient campaign enrollment via MCP Server

Network hiccups ruin automated outreach. When you execute `add_contact_to_sequence`, Mastra wraps that call in its built-in exponential backoff. Temporary API limits won't break your lead generation engine. The agent can also verify prerequisites before acting. It runs `list_email_accounts` to ensure a sender is active, then executes the sequence addition. Everything happens inside a single, durable execution context.

Human-in-the-loop sales approvals

You probably want to review cold emails before they blast out to fifty executives. Configure approval requirements on the Mastra MCPClient. The workflow pauses after fetching targets via `search_people`. A manager clicks approve in your dashboard, and the pipeline resumes. This setup gives you autonomous scale while protecting your domain reputation from hallucinated targeting.

Setup guide

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

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

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