How to Use the Buffer MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I filter Buffer tools in Mastra AI?

Use the toolfilter option in your agent configuration. This limits the agent to only the specific Buffer operations you want it to perform.

Perplexity

Complex scheduling in Mastra AI

Chain together multiple steps using `create_update` and `list_sent_updates`. If a post fails, you can build a retry loop within your Mastra workflow. This keeps your social presence active even if an individual API call hits a snag. You get full control over the execution path.

Conditional social media branching

Use `get_profile` to decide which channel gets a post based on your current audience stats. Your agent branches the logic based on the returned data. It makes your posting strategy reactive. You stop treating all social platforms like they are the same.

Automated queue maintenance

Set up a background worker using `list_pending_updates` to monitor your queue health. If the queue is empty, your agent triggers a content draft. It removes the need for manual check-ins. You define the thresholds and the agent handles the rest.

Setup guide

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

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

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