Conditional crypto workflows for Mastra AI

Trigger automated alerts when an asset price hits a target using `get_asset`. You can build logic that checks the price, then decides whether to notify the user or wait for a specific condition. This gives your agent the ability to act on market changes. It moves beyond simple queries into active, rule-based operations.

Handling market data failures in Mastra AI

Implement retries for `get_rate` calls to ensure your agent always has accurate conversion values. If the network blips, the framework catches the error and tries again. You avoid stale data in your decision-making process. The workflow stays alive even when external endpoints fluctuate.

Multi-step exchange analysis

Chain `list_exchanges` and `get_markets` to find the best liquidity for a specific pair. Your agents can compare volume data across multiple platforms to determine the best execution path. It turns raw data into actionable intelligence. Your agent performs the heavy lifting of sorting and filtering exchange results automatically.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about CoinCap MCP in Mastra AI

Mastra AI uses the MCP tools to fetch data synchronously during the agent execution. You can define specific steps in your workflow to process these results.

Yes. You can write a loop in your agent logic that calls the asset tool repeatedly. Use the built-in wait functions to control your polling frequency.

Absolutely. You can set the requireToolApproval flag on these tools. This forces the agent to ask you before it performs any data-heavy operations.

You can get current rates using the rate tools. These return accurate conversion data for any supported crypto or fiat pair.

The server operates in an isolated sandbox and only transmits public market statistics. Your internal agent secrets remain untouched and separate from these external queries.
