How to Use the Brandfolder MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How does the server locate specific collections?

Your agent uses listglobalbrandfolders to find the correct logical container first. Once it has the container ID, it queries the target collections to locate your files.

Build automated Brandfolder pipelines with Mastra AI using conditional branching and our MCP Server.

Perplexity

Automate bulk uploads with Mastra AI workflows

The `create_cms_asset` tool injects new digital files directly into your designated Brandfolder containers. Mastra routes these files through your custom workflows, ensuring every upload meets your organization's file-type rules. If a network hiccup interrupts the upload, Mastra's engine automatically retries the action using exponential backoff. You don't write custom error-handling loops to keep your asset ingestion pipeline running.

Verify asset tagging via automated agents

The `list_asset_tags` tool fetches the exact structural tags assigned to any file in your Brandfolder workspace. Your workflow agent checks these tags against a master taxonomy list to flag missing metadata. When your agent finds a file lacking required tags, it triggers a conditional branch to alert your team. You catch poorly labeled assets before they get buried in your library.

Clean up workspaces using an MCP Server

The `wipe_media_asset` tool permanently removes expired or duplicate digital assets from your Brandfolder library. This tool executes inside your clean-up workflows to keep your storage usage under control. You can configure the workflow to require manual approval before running this destructive action. Mastra holds the execution state until an administrator clicks confirm in your dashboard.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Brandfolder MCP in Mastra AI

You instantiate the MCP client pointing to your Vinkius endpoint and call `listTools`. Then, you spread those tools directly into your agent configuration to give it access to your assets.

Yes, Mastra's workflow engine uses automatic retries to handle rate limits gracefully. When running `get_brandfolder_assets` across large libraries, the system backs off and retries without failing the run.

You use the workflow editor to place a manual approval step before calling `patch_cms_asset`. Your agent pauses the execution until a human verifies the metadata changes.

Your agent uses `list_global_brandfolders` to find the correct logical container first. Once it has the container ID, it queries the target collections to locate your files.

Your asset tags and metadata travel through highly secure, encrypted transport layers. Vinkius executes the server inside isolated, zero-trust environments that destroy all session data as soon as the workflow step completes.
