How to Use the Canny MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can I require manual approval before Mastra AI comments on Canny?

Yes. Configure requireToolApproval on your Mastra agent for the addcomment tool to review responses before they go live.

Q: How do I register the Canny MCP Server in Mastra AI?

Initialize the client with the Vinkius URL and spread mcpClient.listTools() into your agent configuration block during setup.

Q: How do I filter Canny boards in a Mastra workflow?

Run listfeedbackboards first, then use Mastra's step output to filter the array based on your target board name.

Route feedback posts with Mastra AI workflows

The `create_feedback_post` tool lets your agent triage incoming bugs and ideas automatically. Mastra workflows parse raw user emails, identify the target board using `list_feedback_boards` via the MCP, and file the post. If the initial post creation fails, Mastra's built-in retry engine backs off and tries again. You get a reliable pipeline that never drops a customer request.

Escalate critical comments via Mastra AI MCP Server

The `list_comments` tool monitors Canny posts for high-priority user complaints. When a comment matches danger keywords, Mastra branches the workflow to ping your team. Your agent uses `add_comment` to acknowledge the user immediately. This keeps communication active while your developers look at the issue.

Sync votes to internal databases

The `list_votes` tool pulls voting history to help you calculate real feature demand. Mastra schedules this check every hour, matching votes against internal customer tiers. By running `get_post_details` on highly-voted items, the agent updates your internal product roadmap database automatically.

Setup guide

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

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

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