How to Use the ClickBid MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I register the ClickBid tools in a Mastra AI agent?

Install @mastra/mcp@latest and define a new MCPClient pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. You then fetch the tools with listTools() and spread them directly into your agent's tool array.

Q: Can I require manual approval before Mastra AI modifies ClickBid bidders?

Yes. Set requireToolApproval on your agent config when executing updateclickbidbidder to ensure a human reviews any registration changes before they go live.

Q: Can I build conditional branches for auction items?

Absolutely. You can write a workflow that checks getclickbiditem and branches into different actions depending on whether the item is marked as active or draft.

Perplexity

Automated bidder verification loops

When a new bidder registers, your Mastra AI agent can verify their info before confirming. If a step fails, the built-in workflow engine retries the process automatically using `get_clickbid_bidder` to double-check details. If the record remains incomplete, the workflow diverts to a manual approval branch. You can require human sign-off before executing `update_clickbid_bidder` to keep your guest list clean.

Self-healing auction catalog updates

Managing catalog uploads during a live gala is chaotic. This MCP Server lets your agent trigger `create_clickbid_item` with automatic exponential backoffs if the initial network request hits a snag. Mastra AI handles transient API errors behind the scenes. If a lot creation fails, the workflow logs the error, waits, and retries without crashing your active auction pipeline.

Multi-step ticket verification with Mastra AI

Build complex logic around ticketing using simple TypeScript code. Your agent can run `list_clickbid_tickets` and conditionally match available spots against incoming requests from `list_clickbid_ticket_purchasers`. If a purchaser lacks an assigned ticket, Mastra AI triggers a notification step. This gives you a reliable, automated way to audit event access without writing custom cron jobs.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about ClickBid MCP in Mastra AI

Install `@mastra/mcp@latest` and define a new `MCPClient` pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. You then fetch the tools with `listTools()` and spread them directly into your agent's tool array.

Yes. Set `requireToolApproval` on your agent config when executing `update_clickbid_bidder` to ensure a human reviews any registration changes before they go live.

The client automatically detects the MCP transport layer, whether it is SSE or HTTP. If a call to `list_clickbid_donations` drops, Mastra AI uses its built-in retry logic to fetch the donation list again.

Absolutely. You can write a workflow that checks `get_clickbid_item` and branches into different actions depending on whether the item is marked as active or draft.

Ticket purchaser records are never cached or stored on the Vinkius platform. All data passing through the MCP Server is processed inside an ephemeral, zero-trust sandbox that destroys itself immediately after execution.
