How to Use the Dotdigital MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can Mastra AI manage Dotdigital automation programs?

Yes, Mastra AI can monitor active journeys by calling listautomationprograms within a step block. The agent uses the returned program list to decide whether to pause or activate specific subscriber funnels.

Q: How do I require human approval for Dotdigital changes in Mastra AI?

You enable the requireToolApproval option on the Mastra AI client before executing tools like searchmarketingcontacts. This pauses the workflow and waits for your confirmation before modifying any marketing lists.

Q: How does Mastra AI connect to this MCP Server?

You initialize the Mastra MCPClient with the Vinkius SSE or HTTP endpoint. The client automatically discovers all ten Dotdigital tools and makes them available to your agent's execution context.

Build self-healing Dotdigital marketing workflows using Mastra AI to handle retries and conditional branching automatically.

Automate Dotdigital routing with Mastra AI

The `list_address_book_contacts` tool lets your Mastra AI agent inspect specific lists and route contacts based on real-time behavior. If a contact fails to engage, the Mastra workflow engine automatically branches to try a different marketing program. You can configure your agent to call `get_contact_profile` when a contact bounces to verify their status. Mastra AI manages the retry logic if the Dotdigital API returns a temporary network error.

Run automated campaign health checks

The `quick_marketing_health_audit` tool acts as a trigger inside your Mastra AI workflows to monitor overall campaign performance. When the audit detects a drop in open rates, Mastra initiates an escalation branch to notify your marketing team. Your workflows use `get_campaign_details` to isolate the exact email campaign that caused the performance dip. This MCP Server keeps your automated marketing operations running without requiring constant manual oversight.

Keep address books clean automatically

The `search_marketing_contacts` tool allows Mastra AI agents to scan your lists for outdated or duplicate email records. You write a single workflow that queries your database, searches Dotdigital, and updates address books in one run. By linking this tool with `list_marketing_address_books`, your agent cleans up inactive groups during off-peak hours. Mastra AI deploys this entire maintenance routine to your cloud provider with a single command.

Setup guide

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

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

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