Perplexity

Resilient purchase workflows in Mastra

Define agent steps that trigger `search_items` and verify results with `get_item_details`. If a listing disappears, Mastra handles the retry logic automatically. This setup ensures your agent doesn't get stuck on stale data. It checks the current item status before moving to the next step in your workflow.

Automated fitment validation

Use `get_item_compatibility` as a hard check in your agent's decision tree. If the part doesn't match the vehicle, the workflow stops or prompts for a different item. This prevents bad purchases by forcing the agent to validate specs. It keeps your automated operations running smoothly without manual oversight.

Merchant-focused inventory research

Deploy an agent to monitor market prices using `get_merchant_item_details`. You can set thresholds in your code that trigger alerts or actions based on these metrics. It turns your agent into an inventory analyst. By iterating through items with `search_items`, your workflow stays updated on the latest shifts in availability.

Setup guide

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

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

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