How to Use the Carbonara MCP in Mastra AI
Generate polished code snapshots for your Mastra AI workflows using the Carbonara MCP server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Carbonara MCP to Mastra AI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Carbonara to Mastra AI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automating code graphics in Mastra AI
Add the `cook_code_image` tool to your agent's toolset to handle visual documentation. When your workflow reaches a step requiring a code summary, the agent triggers the server. It handles the styling and window frame automatically. You just provide the source code string and receive a ready-to-use PNG.
Reliable image generation
Mastra AI agents use the `cook_code_image` operation as part of a multi-step pipeline. If the generation fails, the agent can retry the request thanks to the built-in workflow engine. You avoid manual formatting tasks. The server creates consistent images every time, regardless of the complexity of the snippet.
Human-in-the-loop image review
Set your agent to require approval before calling the `cook_code_image` tool. This ensures you only pay for and generate images that are actually needed for your reports. It keeps your workflow costs low. You maintain control over which code blocks get transformed into visual assets.
