How to Use the Crawlbase MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I register Crawlbase tools inside a Mastra AI agent?

Initialize the client with your Vinkius SSE endpoint. Use mcpClient.listTools() and spread them directly into your agent's tool array.

Q: Does the Crawlbase MCP server support Mastra AI approvals?

It does. You can configure requireToolApproval on sensitive operations like scrapelinkedin to review target profiles before execution.

Build resilient scraping workflows in Mastra AI using Crawlbase tools to handle retries and paywalls automatically.

Automate Visual Checks with Mastra AI Workflows

`get_screenshot_link` routes validation checks to explicit web snapshot domains to confirm page layouts visually. This allows your Mastra agent to verify page state before running deep extraction. If a snapshot fails, Mastra's workflow engine triggers an automatic retry with exponential backoff. You don't write custom error-handling loops for transient network drops.

Extract Search Engine Data in Workflows

`scrape_google_serp` identifies active arrays across rented context domains to extract search engine results. The tool feeds raw SERP structures directly into your agent's context window. You can branch your workflow based on the search results. For example, if a competitor rank changes, your agent automatically triggers a secondary deep-dive scrape.

Enforce Structured JSON via MCP Server

`scrape_json_format` performs structural extraction of properties to drive active fields in your database. This ensures the scraped data matches your application schema exactly. This MCP Server tool eliminates the need for post-scrape LLM cleanup. Your workflow receives pre-formatted JSON, saving token costs and reducing execution latency.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Crawlbase MCP in Mastra AI

Initialize the client with your Vinkius SSE endpoint. Use `mcpClient.listTools()` and spread them directly into your agent's tool array.

Yes. Mastra's built-in workflow engine handles transient proxy errors or CAPTCHA blocks by retrying the specific tool execution.

It does. You can configure `requireToolApproval` on sensitive operations like `scrape_linkedin` to review target profiles before execution.

The workflow engine queues execution blocks. It throttles calls to match your Crawlbase account limits, preventing rate-limit exhaustion.

Credentials reside strictly in your local environment variables. Your scraped JSON payloads travel through encrypted SSE connections directly to your Mastra runtime via our managed MCP pipeline.
