How to Use the BotPenguin MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can a Mastra AI agent send SMS verification via BotPenguin?

Yes. The agent calls the sendotp tool to dispatch verification codes during a workflow. Mastra manages the execution and retries the call if the network drops.

Q: How does Mastra AI handle BotPenguin agent escalation?

Your agent uses listagents to check which human operators are active. Based on that list, the workflow branches to assign the conversation to an online human.

Run automated support workflows by connecting BotPenguin to your Mastra AI agentic pipelines.

Multi-step support routing via Mastra AI

The `list_agents` tool inspects your current team directory to see which human operators are online. When a customer query escalates, your workflow reads this list to find an available team member. Mastra handles the routing logic using conditional branching. If the API call fails, the built-in workflow engine retries with exponential backoff before alerting your system administrator.

Automated contact tagging and filtering

Finding specific customer profiles relies on `list_contacts`, which searches your lead database using optional query text. Once found, the agent uses `list_tags` to classify their support needs. This guarantees a human checks the contact details before the agent executes the MCP tool to apply new tags. You configure this behavior using the requireToolApproval setting inside Mastra.

Programmatic chat orchestration

Opening active sessions begins with `list_chats`, giving your agent a view of all unresolved customer threads. The agent processes these threads one by one, deciding which ones require automated replies. Connecting this MCP Server to your Mastra agent requires passing the tool definitions into the agent's tool block. The framework handles transport negotiation automatically, using either standard SSE or Streamable HTTP.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about BotPenguin MCP in Mastra AI

Install @mastra/mcp@latest first. Then, instantiate new MCPClient with your Vinkius server URL and register its tools directly into your Mastra Agent class.

Yes. The agent calls the `send_otp` tool to dispatch verification codes during a workflow. Mastra manages the execution and retries the call if the network drops.

Your agent uses `list_agents` to check which human operators are active. Based on that list, the workflow branches to assign the conversation to an online human.

Yes, Mastra lets you intercept tool execution. You can pause the workflow and require manual verification before your agent sends messages to customers.
