Perplexity

Mastra AI workflow automation

Chain `search_songs` into `get_artist_songs` to build complex data pipelines. If a request fails, the framework handles the retry logic automatically. This is for when you need reliable data ingestion. By defining your tools in the agent, you create a robust sequence that finishes the job every time.

Conditional data retrieval

Use `get_artist` to decide if your agent should proceed with a deep dive into an artist's discography. You can branch your logic based on the IQ score or profile data returned. It keeps your agent smart. Instead of fetching everything, it checks the metadata first and acts only when the criteria are met.

Human-in-the-loop annotation checks

Set `requireToolApproval` for `get_annotation` to verify sensitive content before your agent uses it. It’s perfect for workflows that need manual oversight. You keep control over the output while the agent does the grunt work. It’s the right way to manage automated research without losing the human touch.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Genius MCP in Mastra AI

Map the server tools to your agent's tool set. Use the framework's workflow engine to string them together into a logical sequence.

Yes, configure your agent to handle failures. It will automatically back off if it hits a rate limit, keeping your Genius connection stable.

Absolutely. You can search for an artist, get their song list, and then pull specific lyrics in one autonomous run.

The MCP server uses a token-bucket queue. Your agent will wait its turn, ensuring you never get banned for flooding the endpoint.

We treat all song and artist data as ephemeral. The server doesn't keep logs, and your API keys stay strictly within your environment variables.
