How to Use the Column MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I register Column MCP tools inside Mastra AI?

Use the @mastra/mcp package to connect to your Vinkius URL. Spread the tools returned by listTools() directly into your Mastra AI agent configuration.

Q: Can Column handle human-in-the-loop approvals in Mastra AI?

Yes, you can use Mastra's requireToolApproval setting on high-value tools like columncreatewiretransfer. This pauses the workflow until an admin signs off on the wire.

Q: How do I test Column payment workflows in Mastra AI?

You can write a workflow that calls columnsimulateach to mock inbound money. This lets you test your entire Mastra AI error-handling logic without moving real USD.

Build resilient, self-healing banking workflows by connecting Mastra AI to the Column MCP Server.

Perplexity

Bulletproof business onboarding via Mastra AI

The `column_create_entity` tool registers a person or business KYC target directly into the bank's charter. Mastra AI wraps this step in a workflow engine, meaning you can automatically retry if a submission gets stuck. Once compliance clears, the workflow triggers `column_create_bank_account` to open a DDA. If the setup fails, Mastra AI executes your custom error-handling branch without manual intervention.

Fail-safe payments using the Column MCP Server

The `column_create_ach_transfer` tool initiates outbound ACH payments through the workflow engine. Mastra AI manages the execution state, allowing you to build multi-step payment logic with built-in exponential backoff. If an ACH fails, you can automatically fall back to `column_create_wire_transfer` for immediate settlement. The agent monitors the transfer status and updates your database without dropping the connection.

Automated ledger auditing and webhook listening

The `column_list_webhooks` tool fetches active payment streams to ensure your database stays in sync with the bank. Mastra AI workflows use this data to trigger automated ledger audits. To reconcile accounts at the end of the month, the agent runs `column_get_statement` to grab raw statement artifacts. Mastra AI then parses these files and flags any discrepancies.

Setup guide

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

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

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