How to Use the BoardMix MCP in Mastra AI

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

Instantiate the client using new MCPClient with your Vinkius connection URL. Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the returned array directly into your agent's tool configuration. Mastra automatically configures the MCP transport layer for you.

Q: How do I require approval before Mastra AI modifies my BoardMix files?

Set the requireToolApproval flag to true on the specific BoardMix tools inside your agent. When the agent attempts to run createfile or edit nodes, the workflow pauses until you grant permission. This keeps your visual workspaces safe from unwanted edits.

Automate BoardMix whiteboard generation and project setups using Mastra AI workflows with built-in retry logic.

Automated Canvas Generation Workflows

`create_file` initiates a new whiteboard within a Mastra AI workflow whenever a new project kicks off. If the initial API call fails due to rate limits, the framework triggers an automatic retry with exponential backoff. You can chain this action to run immediately after `list_templates` selects a layout. The entire sequence executes headlessly, meaning your teams get pre-configured workspaces without manual intervention.

Conditional Project Assignments

`list_team_projects` allows your Mastra agent to inspect current workloads before assigning new tasks. The workflow engine uses conditional branching to route files to the correct visual folder based on team capacity. If a project folder is missing, the agent uses `list_teams` via the MCP Server to find the correct department ID and create the asset. You define these rules in pure TypeScript, keeping your visual organization structured.

Mastra AI Node Moderation

`list_nodes` extracts the structure of a whiteboard to check for compliance or formatting errors. By setting `requireToolApproval` in Mastra, the MCP Server pauses before modifying or deleting any visual element. A human reviewer can approve or reject the proposed changes directly from their console. This safety check prevents autonomous agents from accidentally clearing entire BoardMix canvases.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Instantiate the client using `new MCPClient` with your Vinkius connection URL. Call `mcpClient.listTools()` and spread the returned array directly into your agent's tool configuration. Mastra automatically configures the MCP transport layer for you.

Yes, Mastra AI features a built-in workflow engine that handles transient errors gracefully. When `list_files` or other endpoints hit rate limits, the MCP Server retries the request automatically. You do not need to write custom catch blocks for API failures.

Set the `requireToolApproval` flag to true on the specific BoardMix tools inside your agent. When the agent attempts to run `create_file` or edit nodes, the workflow pauses until you grant permission. This keeps your visual workspaces safe from unwanted edits.

You can deploy your completed workflows to any cloud provider using Mastra's one-command deployment system. The connection to the MCP Server remains secure regardless of where your agent is hosted.

Vinkius isolates all communication with the BoardMix API inside ephemeral V8 sandboxes. Your organization details, team rosters, and project structures are never cached on disk. All authorization tokens are injected at runtime and discarded immediately after use.
