Build price drop agents in Mastra AI

Trigger `manage_alert` within your Mastra workflow to watch for price changes. If a game hits a target, your agent can fire a notification. Define your logic branches based on these results. The server handles the subscription state so your agent focuses on the action.

Fetch game specs for Mastra AI agents

Call `get_game` to pull metadata like metacritic scores or historical lows. Your agents use this to decide if a deal is worth buying. Context is king for decision making. These details give your agent the info needed to recommend games accurately.

Filter deals in Mastra AI pipelines

Use `get_deals` as a primary tool for your research agents. It returns a list of active promotions across the web. Pipe this list into your agent's memory. It processes the list to find the best value for your specific user profile.

Setup guide

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

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

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