Connect Chess.com MCP to Mastra AI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Chess.com 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.
Automate club monitoring with Mastra AI workflows
This MCP Server fetches club statistics using `get_club_info` and member rosters with `get_club_members`. You can build multi-step workflows that query club data and automatically notify admins when new players join. The built-in retry engine ensures temporary network hiccups don't break your tracking pipelines.
Build automatic player recruiting pipelines
This tool searches for top talent using `get_country_players` and checks their stats with `get_player_stats`. Mastra AI coordinates this search, filtering players by specific rating thresholds and country codes. If a player meets your criteria, the workflow automatically queues them for outreach.
Schedule automated opening repertoire analysis
This tool pulls game archives using `get_player_game_archives` and downloads PGN files with `get_player_monthly_games`. Mastra AI schedules these downloads monthly, feeding the matches into your analysis engine to flag common mistakes. If a download fails, the framework automatically retries with exponential backoff.
