How to Use the Clickatell MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can Mastra AI retry sending a Clickatell SMS if it fails?

Yes. You'd create a workflow where the agent calls getdeliverystatus. If the status is 'failed', Mastra AI's engine can be configured to automatically retry the dispatchsmsmessage tool with exponential backoff.

Q: How does Mastra AI use the Clickatell MCP server to check my account balance?

You create an agent with access to the getaccountbalance tool. Then you build a workflow that runs on a schedule, calls that tool, and uses conditional logic to take action—like sending an alert—if the balance is below your set limit.

Q: Is it possible to manage Clickatell inbound rules automatically with a Mastra AI agent?

Absolutely. Give your agent the upsertinboundrule and wipeinboundrule tools. Your agent can then execute workflows that change SMS routing logic based on external triggers or schedules, without any human input.

Q: What's the difference between dispatchsmsmessage and dispatchbulksms?

Use dispatchsmsmessage for single, transactional texts like a 2FA code. Use dispatchbulksms for sending a list of messages at once, like a marketing campaign. The bulk tool is much more efficient for volume.

Build resilient SMS workflows with Clickatell and Mastra AI. Automate sending, status checks, and balance alerts with conditional logic.

Build SMS Workflows That Don't Fail

Use Mastra AI's workflow engine to chain Clickatell actions together. You can build a process that uses `dispatch_sms_message` to send a critical alert, then waits and confirms its arrival with `get_delivery_status`. It's all just steps in a Mastra AI agent's plan. If a delivery fails, Mastra's built-in retry logic can automatically try again. This isn't just about sending a text; it's about building a reliable notification system that handles real-world network issues.

Keep Your SMS Operations Funded

Running out of credit is a silent killer for SMS campaigns. You can create a Mastra AI agent that periodically calls `get_account_balance`. If the balance drops below a certain threshold, the agent can trigger another action, like sending a notification to your finance team. You can apply the same logic to your marketing efforts. Use `list_scheduled_campaigns` to get a list of active campaigns and build workflows around them. Mastra AI makes this kind of background monitoring simple to set up.

Automate Inbound Routing with this MCP Server

This MCP server gives your agent direct control over how Clickatell handles incoming messages. An agent can use `upsert_inbound_rule` to dynamically create a rule that forwards messages from a specific number to a new webhook endpoint. This is great for spinning up temporary services or A/B testing. When the test is over, the same agent can clean up after itself by calling `wipe_inbound_rule`. `list_inbound_rules` lets the agent see the current state before making changes. It's infrastructure as code, but for your SMS routing.

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-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "clickatell-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);
