Perplexity

Build Resilient Mailing Workflows

Sending physical mail via an API means dealing with network timeouts and carrier address rejections. Wrapping the MCP tool inside a Mastra workflow gives you automatic exponential backoff. If the initial submission drops, the agent simply waits and tries again without writing any custom retry logic. You just configure `place_greeting_card_order` as a step and let the framework handle the failures.

Sync Contacts with Mastra AI

Managing customer mailing lists across different platforms usually requires brittle cron jobs. Your agent needs to keep your CRM and physical mailing lists perfectly aligned at all times. Build a sync pipeline that uses `list_contact_lists` to check existing groups, then triggers `add_contact_to_list` whenever a new user signs up. If the addition fails, Mastra catches the error and branches to a notification step.

Validate Before Printing

Sending broken artwork to a physical printer costs real money. You need a way to verify the asset before committing to the charge on your account. Set up an MCP step that runs `get_artwork_details` to check the resolution and availability. Route that data into a human-in-the-loop approval node using requireToolApproval before finally executing the actual print job.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Cardly MCP in Mastra AI

Install @mastra/mcp and instantiate MCPClient with your Vinkius URL. Mastra automatically detects whether to use SSE or Streamable HTTP.

Yes, you can pause execution. Enable requireToolApproval on the order tool to force a human review before the physical card gets printed.

Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the results directly into your agent's tools array. The framework handles the schema mapping automatically.

The workflow engine handles failures natively. You configure the retry count and backoff strategy at the agent level for any MCP Server connection.

Processing recipient names, physical addresses, and custom messages happens inside a zero-trust V8 sandbox. The MCP Server never caches your mailing lists locally, dropping all memory the moment the workflow step completes.
