How to Use the Cooper Hewitt MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Does Mastra AI support human approval for Cooper Hewitt tools?

Yes, just enable requireToolApproval in your client config. This forces a human to sign off before the agent executes any museum data requests.

Perplexity

Automated museum research in Mastra AI

Create complex research workflows that handle museum data retrieval automatically. If your agent hits a network hiccup, Mastra AI retries the `get_person_info` call so your research pipeline doesn't crash. This makes your agents more reliable. You can chain multiple steps together to build a complete profile of a designer or object without manual oversight.

Complex museum queries in Mastra AI

Use conditional branching to refine your museum searches. If `search_objects_faceted` returns too many results, have your agent trigger a follow-up search with tighter parameters. This logic keeps your agent focused. You get precise answers from the collection instead of dumping raw, messy data into your workflow.

Museum data validation in Mastra AI

Build agents that verify exhibition data before acting. Use `list_exhibitions` to check if an object is currently on display before scheduling a virtual tour for your users. This adds a layer of intelligence to your automations. Your agents make decisions based on live museum status rather than stale information.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Cooper Hewitt MCP in Mastra AI

You define the server in your Mastra config and spread the tools into your agent definition. It automatically handles the transport so you can call tools like `get_random_object` immediately.

Absolutely. You can write a workflow that searches for an object, finds the designer with `get_object_participants`, and then fetches their other works.

Yes, just enable `requireToolApproval` in your client config. This forces a human to sign off before the agent executes any museum data requests.

We host these servers on our V8 Isolate infrastructure. You get consistent uptime and low latency for every tool call.
