How to Use the Azure Cognitive Search MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I trigger Mastra AI workflows based on Azure Cognitive Search index status?

Use listindexers inside a Mastra AI step to check if your sync failed, then use conditional branching to retry or alert your team.

Q: How do I register the Azure Cognitive Search MCP Server in Mastra AI?

Initialize the client with new MCPClient pointing to your server URL, then spread mcpClient.listTools() into your Mastra agent's tool array.

Q: Does Mastra support human approval for sensitive index queries?

Yes. You can set requireToolApproval on tools like getdocument to force a manual check before the agent reads private data.

Build resilient search workflows in Mastra AI with direct access to your Azure indexes.

Mastra AI workflows auto-rebuild failed indexes

`list_indexers` checks the status of your scheduled Azure Search indexers to trigger Mastra AI conditional branching when syncs fail. This MCP connection lets your agent react to pipeline failures in real-time. If the error persists, the workflow uses `list_skillsets` to analyze enrichment failures. This keeps your search index healthy without manual dev team intervention.

Chain vector search tools inside Mastra agents

`vector_search` executes structural KNN vector queries that feed directly into Mastra AI workflow steps. Mastra agents pass these vector results to subsequent steps for deep analysis or categorization. When a vector search returns weak matches, the Mastra workflow branches to run `search_documents` for a lexical fallback. This ensures your agent never returns empty results to the user.

Secure document reads with Mastra tool approvals

`get_document` fetches exact records by UUID only after passing Mastra AI's `requireToolApproval` gate. This forces a human operator to approve the database read before the agent accesses sensitive records. This MCP Server integration ensures that high-value document lookups require explicit confirmation. You get enterprise-grade security controls directly inside your agentic workflows.

Setup guide

Set up Azure Cognitive Search 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 Azure Cognitive Search 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: "azure-cognitive-search-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "azure-cognitive-search-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

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