Perplexity

Automated document workflows

Chain `create_document` into your agent's logic to generate reports automatically. Mastra AI handles the retries if the network blips, ensuring your docs arrive every time. This is perfect for complex pipelines. You define the sequence, and the agent executes the file creation without manual intervention.

Advanced search in Mastra AI

Query your entire archive with `search_files` to feed context into your multi-step agents. It turns static notes into active data for your workflows. The search results map directly to your agent's memory. This lets your crew make decisions based on the latest project files.

Systematic file organization

Use `move_file` and `delete_file` to keep your file system orderly. You can write conditional logic to archive documents once a task hits a certain status. It keeps your Dropbox clean by automating the cleanup phase. Your agent acts as the janitor for your documentation, keeping things indexed and relevant.

Setup guide

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

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

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