Deep site mapping for Mastra AI

Run `map_website_structure` to index a site's topology before you commit to a full crawl. It helps your Mastra AI agents decide exactly which endpoints require scraping. You avoid unnecessary deep crawls on irrelevant subdirectories. It keeps your agent workflows lean and efficient.

Trigger crawls within Mastra AI agents

Execute `start_crawl` to begin bulk data extraction as part of a multi-step workflow. The MCP Server hands back a job ID for tracking. You can chain this with `get_crawl_status` to create conditional logic. If the crawl finishes, your agent proceeds to the analysis phase.

Handle site scraping in Mastra AI

Use `scrape_url` to pull content into your agent's memory as clean markdown. It bypasses JS-rendering hurdles that usually break standard scrapers. Your agents get structured context without the noise of raw HTML. This improves the accuracy of your autonomous decision-making.

Setup guide

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

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

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