How to Use the Craftboxx MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can I require human approval before Mastra AI modifies Craftboxx orders?

Yes, you can configure the requireToolApproval option in Mastra AI when setting up the createorder tool. This pauses the workflow and prompts an operator before any new craft order is written to your database. It prevents autonomous agents from making unauthorized operational changes.

Q: How does the Mastra AI integration protect Craftboxx vehicle and employee data?

All resource logs and employee lists fetched via listemployees flow through an ephemeral V8 sandbox. Vinkius enforces a zero-trust model, meaning your operational data is never cached or stored on our servers. Your credentials remain encrypted inside the secure transport layer throughout the session.

Automated Craftboxx task dispatching via Mastra AI

The `list_tasks` tool exposes all open and completed tasks directly to your Mastra AI workflow engine. You can build conditional branches that check task statuses and trigger automatic reassignments if a job remains overdue. If a technician fails to update a task, the agent automatically retries the operation with exponential backoff. This workflow relies on the MCP server to ensure every schedule change syncs back to your dashboard reliably.

Dynamic vehicle and resource allocation

The `list_vehicles_resources` tool allows your Mastra AI agent to audit available machinery and trucks before scheduling a job. The workflow engine evaluates this resource list against active order requirements to prevent double-booking. When a conflict occurs, the agent runs conditional logic to find the next best available resource. It then writes the updated allocation to the database, keeping your fleet operations coordinated without human oversight.

Resilient customer lookups with automatic retries

The `list_customers` tool retrieves your customer database to match incoming orders with existing accounts. Mastra AI handles network hiccups gracefully by retrying the customer lookup tool automatically if the Craftboxx API experiences brief downtime. This integration ensures that your automated billing pipelines never stall due to transient errors. The agent can safely query `get_business_stats` after confirming customer details to verify account balances.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Craftboxx MCP in Mastra AI

You initialize the client with your Vinkius endpoint and call `mcpClient.listTools()` to retrieve the Craftboxx toolset from the MCP client. Then, spread those tools directly into your Mastra AI agent configuration object. This makes the entire suite available for your workflows instantly.

Yes, you can configure the `requireToolApproval` option in Mastra AI when setting up the `create_order` tool. This pauses the workflow and prompts an operator before any new craft order is written to your database. It prevents autonomous agents from making unauthorized operational changes.

Mastra AI features a built-in workflow engine that automatically retries failed MCP server calls like `list_appointments`. It uses exponential backoff to wait out temporary network drops before throwing an error. This keeps your automated dispatch pipelines running smoothly.

You can deploy your agent and its workflow configurations to any cloud provider using a single terminal command. Mastra AI packages the MCP connection settings and transport protocols into a lightweight bundle. This ensures your background dispatchers run 24/7.

All resource logs and employee lists fetched via `list_employees` flow through an ephemeral V8 sandbox. Vinkius enforces a zero-trust model, meaning your operational data is never cached or stored on our servers.
