How to Use the Equinix Metal MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can Mastra AI handle failures when creating an Equinix Metal API key?

Yes, that's what it's for. If a call to createprojectapikey fails, Mastra AI's workflow engine can automatically retry with exponential backoff. You can define what happens after a set number of failed attempts, like notifying an on-call engineer.

Q: How do I add a human approval step for deleting Equinix Metal keys with Mastra AI?

Use the requireToolApproval option in your Mastra AI agent configuration. When the agent tries to run deleteapikey, the workflow will pause and wait for a human to approve the action. This prevents accidental deletion of production keys.

Q: How does Mastra AI connect to the Equinix Metal MCP Server?

You instantiate the MCPClient from @mastra/mcp and provide your unique Vinkius server URL. Mastra AI handles the transport details. Then, you can list the tools and pass them to your agent.

Automate Key Rotation Safely

This toolset gives your Mastra AI agent control over Equinix Metal API keys. You can build a workflow that periodically calls `create_project_api_key` to generate a new key for a service account. Then, your workflow can update your secret manager and finally call `delete_api_key` on the old one. Mastra AI's built-in retry logic ensures this sequence completes even if the Equinix Metal API is temporarily unavailable. This is how you automate credential rotation without manual steps.

Script Complex Onboarding Workflows

These tools let you automate adding and managing users in Equinix Metal. A workflow can start by using `create_email` to register a new address for a team member. Your agent can then check the status of an invite with `get_invitation`. With Mastra AI's conditional logic, you can build branches: if an invitation is ignored for 48 hours, the agent can automatically ping a manager. If it's declined with `decline_invitation`, it can log a ticket.

Your Mastra AI Agent for Infrastructure

Connect Mastra AI to this MCP server to manage your Equinix Metal environment programmatically. You can create workflows that provision user-specific credentials using `create_user_api_key` as part of a larger CI/CD pipeline. Mastra's `requireToolApproval` feature is critical here. You can set up a workflow where any call to a destructive tool like `delete_user_api_key` requires a manual sign-off from an admin, adding a human backstop to your automation.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Equinix Metal MCP in Mastra AI

Yes, that's what it's for. If a call to `create_project_api_key` fails, Mastra AI's workflow engine can automatically retry with exponential backoff. You can define what happens after a set number of failed attempts, like notifying an on-call engineer.

Use the `requireToolApproval` option in your Mastra AI agent configuration. When the agent tries to run `delete_api_key`, the workflow will pause and wait for a human to approve the action. This prevents accidental deletion of production keys.

Absolutely. The combination is designed for it. You can trigger Mastra AI workflows from your CI system to manage temporary keys for deployment, using `create_user_api_key` at the start and `delete_user_api_key` at the end of a job.

You instantiate the `MCPClient` from `@mastra/mcp` and provide your unique Vinkius server URL. Mastra AI handles the transport details. Then, you can list the tools and pass them to your agent.

The server processes your Equinix Metal API keys and email invitation data. The MCP server itself is stateless and runs in a dedicated Vinkius sandbox. No data is persisted on the server; it only exists for the duration of the API call.
