How to Use the Ask Kodiak MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I register Ask Kodiak tools in a Mastra AI agent?

Instantiate the client using new MCPClient and point it to your Vinkius URL. Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the resulting tools directly into your agent's tool configuration array.

Q: Can I require manual approval for Ask Kodiak actions in Mastra AI?

Yes. You can set requireToolApproval on tools like getproduct to force the workflow to pause until a human underwriter reviews the carrier appetite details.

Perplexity

Multi-step appetite checks using Mastra AI

The `get_product` tool pulls full carrier guidelines to verify if a risk fits a specific market. Mastra AI uses this data to branch workflows, automatically routing the submission to alternative carriers if the primary one rejects the risk. If a query fails due to network issues, the workflow engine triggers automatic retries with exponential backoff. Your agent keeps running until it secures a definitive appetite decision.

Smart industry code matching via MCP Server

The `suggest_naics` tool processes messy business descriptions to find standard industry codes. Mastra AI feeds these suggestions into `list_classifications` to pinpoint carrier-specific classes without human intervention. You can build human-in-the-loop steps using the `requireToolApproval` flag. The system pauses the workflow, waits for an underwriter to confirm the NAICS code, and then resumes execution.

Automated carrier product matching pipelines

The `list_products` tool searches the market for commercial products, while `get_company_products` extracts the full lineup for target carriers. Mastra AI combines these MCP tools to build comparative insurance matrices automatically. The agent verifies account connections using `get_account_check` before initiating the search. If the connection is broken, the workflow halts and alerts your operations team.

Setup guide

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

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

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