How to Use the Coder (Remote Dev) MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I handle Coder (Remote Dev) build failures in Mastra AI?

Set up a step in your Mastra workflow that checks getworkspacebuild. If the status shows an error, use a conditional branch to run cleanup tools or notify your team.

Q: Can Mastra AI automatically manage Coder (Remote Dev) licenses?

Yes, you can build a workflow that monitors usage via getinsightsdaus and runs addlicense when seats need to scale. Use approval steps to keep a human in the loop.

Q: Can I schedule automatic workspace shutdowns with this setup?

Yes. Use the workflow engine to trigger updateworkspaceautostart and manage workspace active windows based on developer timezones.

Perplexity

Build self-healing remote workspace workflows via MCP.

When a Coder workspace build fails, Mastra AI doesn't just crash. It uses conditional branching to detect build errors from `get_workspace_build` and automatically triggers a retry or attempts cleanup. You define the steps in TypeScript, using `cancel_workspace_build` if timeouts are hit. It keeps your remote infrastructure clean without manual intervention.

Secure Coder (Remote Dev) human-in-the-loop approvals.

Keep production licenses safe by requiring manual sign-offs for expensive actions. Use Mastra's approval system before your agent runs `add_license` or `delete_license`. The agent pauses execution, alerts your team, and only calls the MCP Server tool once a developer clicks approve. It prevents accidental resource consumption or policy wipes.

Automated active user auditing and reporting.

Run daily cron tasks that check team usage patterns. The agent queries `get_insights_daus` and `get_insights_user_activity` to track active hours across your deployment. Mastra formats this data and sends weekly reports directly to your admin channel. You get clear visibility into workspace costs without writing custom dashboard code.

Setup guide

Set up Coder (Remote Dev) 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 Coder (Remote Dev) 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: "coder-remote-dev-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "coder-remote-dev-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

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