How to Use the GiantBomb MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Does Mastra AI support filtering GiantBomb results?

Yes. You can pass complex filter objects through listgames or listcharacters. The workflow engine manages the payload before sending it to the MCP Server.

Automated game research in Mastra AI

Set up multi-step workflows that fetch and process data using `get_character` and `get_company`. If a request fails, Mastra AI automatically retries based on your defined policy. This ensures your agents stay productive without manual intervention. It's perfect for building reliable data gathering bots that run in the background.

Conditional branching for MCP Server

Create logic flows where your agent decides the next step based on tool output. For example, use `list_platforms` to determine if a specific game version exists before calling `get_game`. This prevents wasted API calls and keeps your workflow efficient. You're building a system that thinks before it acts.

Human-in-the-loop validation

Use Mastra AI to gate sensitive actions behind a manual check. If your agent pulls data via `list_games`, you can require an approval step before the final report is generated. This adds a layer of safety to your automated operations. It's the standard for professional-grade agent workflows.

Setup guide

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

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

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