How to Use the Clickatell MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I add the Clickatell MCP Server to my Mastra AI agent?

Install @mastra/mcp and instantiate the MCPClient pointing to your Vinkius server URL. Spread the client's tools directly into your Mastra Agent configuration.

Q: Can Mastra AI handle human-in-the-loop approvals for Clickatell?

Yes, you can set requireToolApproval on tools like sendbulkmessages or deletewhatsapptemplate so a human must approve the action before Mastra fires the API call.

Q: How do Mastra AI workflows handle Clickatell rate limits?

Mastra's workflow engine queues calls to sendsms or sendwhatsapp and executes them within your Clickatell account limits, retrying automatically if you hit rate caps.

Q: Can I query Clickatell history inside a Mastra AI loop?

Yes, your agent can call listmessagehistory to inspect past interactions and use that context to decide whether to send a follow-up message.

Q: How does Mastra AI protect my Clickatell message content?

All text payloads processed by sendsms and sendwhatsapp pass through isolated Vinkius MCP sandboxes, ensuring your message logs and recipient phone numbers are never stored on external servers.

Automate SMS retries with Mastra AI and Clickatell

The `send_sms` tool plugs directly into Mastra AI workflows to send high-priority alerts to your customers. If a message dispatch fails due to carrier issues, Mastra's built-in retry engine catches the error and attempts the send again using exponential backoff. You use `get_message_status` in a downstream workflow step to verify delivery. If the carrier reports a hard bounce, Mastra branches the logic to flag the phone number in your database automatically.

Run conditional WhatsApp campaigns using this MCP Server

The `send_whatsapp` tool lets your Mastra agent send structured templates to users based on conditional logic. If a customer payment fails, the workflow automatically calls this tool to ping their phone with a secure payment link. Before sending, the workflow uses `list_whatsapp_templates` to verify that the template is active. This runtime check prevents your Mastra agents from trying to send unapproved messages that would trigger API rejections.

Manage Clickatell channels dynamically inside Mastra AI

The `list_active_channels` tool allows your Mastra workflow to discover which communication channels are currently open on your account. Your agent reads this list to decide whether to route an urgent alert via SMS or WhatsApp. The agent uses `list_source_numbers` to select the best outbound phone number for the target country. This dynamic routing ensures your Mastra workflows always use the most cost-effective sending route.

Setup guide

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

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

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