Automated Outage Escalation with Mastra AI

This Mastra AI setup connects your workflow engine directly to the Better Stack MCP Server. When an API goes down, Mastra triggers a workflow that runs `list_incidents` to pull the active failure details. The framework then decides the next step based on severity. If the incident is critical, Mastra runs `list_on_calls` to find the active engineer. It handles retries automatically if the first API call fails, ensuring your escalation pipeline never stalls during a midnight outage.

Self-Healing Heartbeat Monitors

You can build automated workflows with this MCP Server to watch your cron jobs and background workers. Mastra queries `list_heartbeats` to verify which background processes are checking in. If a worker goes silent, the agent initiates a system reboot. After attempting a restart, the workflow runs `get_monitor` to check if the status returns to healthy. This loop runs entirely in the background, keeping your infrastructure green without manual developer intervention.

Dynamic Status Page Management

Keep your public communication in sync with your actual infrastructure status. The agent uses `list_status_pages` to locate your public dashboards when an outage occurs. It can then update the status or draft incident reports based on raw logs. If a false alarm occurs, the workflow uses `update_monitor` to tweak the sensitivity of the failing check. This prevents noisy alerts from waking up your team for temporary network hiccups.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Better Stack MCP in Mastra AI

You initialize the connection by passing the Vinkius endpoint URL to the Mastra AI `MCPClient` constructor. Once registered, you can spread the returned tools directly into your Mastra Agent configuration. This gives your workflows immediate access to `list_monitors` and other diagnostic utilities.

Yes, you can use Mastra's human-in-the-loop feature to intercept destructive actions. When the agent wants to execute `delete_monitor`, the workflow pauses and waits for admin approval. The monitor is only removed once a team member confirms the action in your control panel.

Mastra features a built-in workflow engine with automatic retries and exponential backoff. If a call to `list_incidents` fails due to network congestion, Mastra pauses and tries again. This ensures your automated incident response stays active during major platform outages.

Yes, Mastra agents compile into standard TypeScript that deploys to any cloud provider with a single command. The agent runs headlessly, constantly polling `list_heartbeats` to ensure your cron jobs are reporting in from production.

Your API keys never touch Mastra's servers or Vinkius storage. The MCP connection uses secure environment variables to pass tokens directly to the Better Stack API. Your private uptime monitors, active incident logs, and team on-call schedules remain fully protected inside your isolated execution sandbox.
