How to Use the DOAJ MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can Mastra AI perform a search in DOAJ and then update a record?

You chain searcharticles and updatearticle within a single Mastra agent workflow. The agent processes the output of the search and feeds it directly into the update tool.

Q: Is it possible to require human approval for DOAJ actions?

Yes, you use requireToolApproval in your Mastra configuration. This forces the agent to pause until you verify the action before it interacts with DOAJ.

Build resilient research workflows in Mastra AI using the DOAJ MCP Server for automated metadata processing.

Perplexity

Automated journal applications

Use `create_application` to submit journal updates directly through your workflow. You can trigger this step after your validation logic confirms the metadata is clean. It handles the submission process programmatically. If the API returns an error, your Mastra workflow engine can catch it and retry the request automatically.

Conditional article deletion

Safely remove records with `delete_article` by building a verification step into your agent. Only delete records after your logic passes the required checks. This prevents accidental data loss. You define the branches, and Mastra ensures the deletion only occurs when your conditions are met.

Search and verify journals

Query the directory with `search_journals` to validate journal existence before creating new articles. This ensures your data stays consistent across your entire pipeline. Your agents can compare search results against your internal records. It acts as a gatekeeper for your data ingestion process.

Setup guide

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

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

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