Perplexity

Automate grant research in Mastra AI

Define complex agents that pull from `list_grant_funds` automatically. If a search comes up empty, your Mastra workflow handles the retry logic without manual intervention. Define your logic once. The MCP Server ensures the agent gets the right data every time.

Handle application pipelines

Trigger `create_new_application` as a step in your agentic workflow. You can gate these actions behind human approval to ensure accuracy before submission. Keep your operations moving. If an error occurs, the workflow catches it and notifies your team.

Audit grant progress with Mastra AI

Use `list_applications` to monitor the status of every submission. Your agents can verify details with `get_application_details` to keep your records clean. Stop manual tracking. Let the agent handle the status updates.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Good Grants MCP in Mastra AI

You register the server URL in your agent configuration. The framework then auto-detects the tools and makes them available for your workflow steps.

Absolutely. You can chain tools together to research, draft, and monitor applications within a single agent sequence.

You set your API key as an environment variable. The server uses this to authenticate every request, ensuring only authorized workflows execute.

No. The server ephemeralizes your grant application details during the request. It does not persist your data.
