How to Use the Getty Images MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I install the Getty Images MCP client in Mastra AI?

Run npm install @mastra/mcp@latest in your project. Instantiate the MCP client, call listTools, and spread those tools directly into your agent configuration.

Q: Can Mastra AI handle conditional logic for Getty Images downloads?

Yes. You can design a workflow that runs searchimages first, evaluates the preview metadata, and only triggers downloadimage if the image fits your strict criteria.

Q: Can I restrict my agent to only search commercial-safe images?

Yes. You can configure your agent to only use searchcreative and completely block access to searcheditorial to prevent licensing issues.

Run multi-step media workflows with Mastra AI to search, filter, and safely license Getty Images assets automatically.

Perplexity

Automate asset curation with Mastra AI workflows

`list_collections` gets your existing lightbox collections so your agent can audit or expand them. The workflow engine evaluates current assets and automatically schedules updates based on your production calendar. By combining `get_similar` with conditional loops, your agent replaces low-resolution placeholders with matching high-res alternatives. If a specific asset is missing, the agent triggers a backup search to fill the gap.

Prevent accidental spend using tool approvals

`download_image` requires an active API quota and incurs real financial costs for your organization. Mastra allows you to flag this specific tool for manual human-in-the-loop approval before execution. When your agent identifies an asset, it presents the metadata from `get_image` to an admin. The actual high-resolution download only triggers once a manager approves the action in your dashboard.

Build resilient media pipelines with a managed MCP Server

`search_videos` handles large-scale video discovery queries that sometimes hit rate limits during peak hours. The framework automatically retries these failed API calls using exponential backoff. This prevents your background indexing jobs from crashing when Getty throttles your connection. Your agent continues searching editorial and creative files in the background without manual intervention via the MCP transport.

Setup guide

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

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

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