Autonomous Dokku management for Mastra AI

Create full deployment pipelines using `create_app` and `destroy_app`. Your agent manages the entire lifecycle from initial allocation to cleanup. This allows for dynamic infrastructure where agents spin up ephemeral environments. It handles the network hooks automatically for every new service.

Workflow-driven scaling with Mastra AI

Use `ps_scale` to adjust resources based on traffic metrics identified by your agent. If load spikes, the agent triggers the scaling logic immediately. It handles the logic for you, ensuring your infrastructure responds to demand. You define the thresholds and the agent handles the execution.

Safe command execution in Mastra AI

Run `run_command` for background tasks like migrations or scripts inside your production images. It clones the environment and runs the job in isolation. This keeps your web traffic uninterrupted. The agent monitors the exit status and decides if the workflow should continue or halt.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Dokku MCP in Mastra AI

Yes, by connecting this MCP Server, your agents gain full control over your apps. They can list, scale, and restart services based on your workflows.

You register the tools in your agent definition. The agent then understands how to interact with your host via the standardized interface.

Mastra AI manages the retry logic for any failed tool call. If a `ps_restart` fails, the agent will attempt to resolve the issue automatically.

All traffic is restricted to your authorized endpoints. Your environment variables are processed only by your agents during the configuration update cycle.

Logs are ingested as text streams. Your agents can analyze these to detect patterns and trigger corrective actions without human input.
