How to Use the GoCardless MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Does Mastra AI support human approval for GoCardless?

Yes, use the requireToolApproval flag. This stops the agent before it calls createnewpayment until you confirm the action.

Conditional payment logic in Mastra AI

Branch your workflow based on `get_mandate_status`. If a mandate is inactive, your agent can trigger a custom recovery flow automatically. Don't let failures stall your operations. Mastra AI handles the decision tree while the MCP server interacts with the financial records.

Reliable payout monitoring

Loop through `list_merchant_payouts` to reconcile your books. If a payout is missing, the agent flags it for review immediately. Keep your ledger accurate without manual intervention. The workflow engine ensures every payout is tracked against your internal state.

Multi-step subscription management

Chain `list_recurring_subscriptions` and `list_payment_refunds` to manage your billing lifecycle. Your agent builds a complete picture of the customer's payment history. Everything happens in one sequence. You define the logic, and the agent executes the steps via the server tools.

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-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "gocardless-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);
