How to Use the GoCardless MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How does Mastra AI handle GoCardless tool failures?

You configure retry policies directly in your workflow. If collectpayment returns a 429 or 500, the agent automatically attempts the call again with backoff.

Q: Can I use GoCardless in a Mastra AI multi-step agent?

Absolutely, you chain the tools together. The output of listcustomers becomes the input for getcustomerdetails in your next agent step.

Conditional payment recovery flows

Create automated branches that check `get_payment_status` after a failed charge. If the status indicates a failure, your agent triggers a retry or notifies an administrator automatically. This MCP Server fits perfectly into your Mastra agent graph. You define the logic, and the tools handle the API communication with the bank clearing house.

Manage mandates with agent workflows

Call `list_active_mandates` inside your workflow to verify authorization before processing any funds. If the agent finds no active mandate, it halts the workflow to prevent a failed transaction. It’s about building safety into your billing pipeline. You don't just send payments; you verify the state of the account first.

Audit your financial logs automatically

Deploy an agent that runs `list_system_events` on a schedule. It parses the logs and flags suspicious activity or missing settlement confirmations for your review. You gain a proactive monitor for your financial operations. The agent does the heavy lifting of reading through event history so you don't have to.

Setup guide

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

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

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