How to Use the DropBox Alternative MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can I require human approval before deleting files with the DropBox Alternative on Mastra AI?

Yes, you set requireToolApproval on the deleteitem tool in your agent configuration. The workflow pauses and waits for an admin to confirm the deletion before proceeding.

Q: How do I search for specific assets using the DropBox Alternative in Mastra AI?

Your agent runs searchfiles to locate documents matching specific queries. You can feed these search results directly into subsequent workflow steps like copying or moving.

Q: How does the agent verify which account it is using?

The getcurrentuser tool retrieves the active profile details. Your workflow uses this to confirm the agent has the correct permissions before modifying files.

Automate file moves with Mastra AI workflows

The `move_item` tool executes file transfers across your directory structure based on workflow triggers. If a file move fails, Mastra AI retries the operation automatically with exponential backoff on this MCP configuration. The `get_metadata` tool checks file sizes before starting a transfer to prevent workflow timeouts. This prevents your workflows from hitting API limits on massive files.

Conditional folder creation and sharing

The `create_folder` tool builds new directories only when specific workflow conditions are met. For example, your agent checks if a directory exists, and if not, creates it. The `create_shared_link` tool generates access links for external clients once the folder is ready. Once generated, your workflow triggers an email node to send the link automatically.

Automated storage cleanup policies

The `delete_item` tool removes old or redundant files based on your custom retention policies. Your agent runs these audits on a schedule, checking for files that haven't been accessed. The `list_shared_links` tool identifies public links that should be deactivated. This keeps your external sharing secure without manual oversight.

Setup guide

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

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

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