Automate complex task creation with Mastra AI

The `create_new_task` tool lets your Mastra agent build tasks in response to external system events. If a payment fails or a server goes down, the agent writes a ticket with high-priority tags. You can wrap this in a Mastra workflow that retries automatically if the first attempt fails. The built-in workflow engine handles the backoff logic so your task creation never drops a critical alert.

Map entire workspaces dynamically using the MCP Server

The `list_workspace_spaces` tool inspects your workspace layout to help your agent decide where new initiatives belong. Instead of guessing, the agent queries your actual ClickUp hierarchy to find the right space. Mastra's conditional routing uses the output of `list_space_folders` to branch your logic. If a folder for a client doesn't exist, the agent flags it for review before attempting to write tasks.

Read task details for intelligent routing

The `get_task_details` tool extracts the full status and priority of any ticket. Your agent uses this data to determine if a bug report needs escalation or a simple comment update. Feeding `list_list_tasks` into a Mastra agent allows it to audit entire lists daily. It flags overdue tickets and reassigns them based on team availability without manual intervention.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about ClickUp MCP in Mastra AI

Instantiate the client pointing to your Vinkius server URL in your Mastra config. Spread the client's tools into your agent's tool array. The framework automatically registers tools like task creation for your agent to use.

Yes, you can set tool approval flags on critical write actions. This pauses the Mastra workflow and waits for your confirmation before writing any data to your workspace.

The agent uses folder and list tools to discover your workspace layout sequentially. Mastra's step-by-step workflow engine ensures the agent resolves the parent folder ID before searching for child lists.

No, the client handles transport negotiation behind the scenes. It automatically detects whether to use Server-Sent Events or standard HTTP based on your Vinkius endpoint configuration.

Your workspace lists and task names are processed entirely in memory within an isolated V8 sandbox. Vinkius does not log or persist any of your project metadata. All communication with the API uses encrypted transit.
