Perplexity

Build resilient workflows for Mastra AI

Chain folder operations into multi-step agents. Use `create_folder` followed by `add_folder_permission` to provision secure project workspaces automatically. Define clear failure paths. If a folder creation hits a limit, your agent handles the error gracefully and retries the request with a different naming convention.

Manage folder access programmatically

Set up strict governance for your teams. Use `add_folder_permission` to grant specific access levels to users based on their role in your organization. Audit access with `get_folder_metadata`. Your agent checks current settings and corrects them if they deviate from your security policy.

Organize assets with shortcuts

Bridge departments using `create_shortcut`. Create central hubs that point to scattered files, keeping your main directory clean and easy to navigate. Maintain integrity with `list_shortcuts`. Your agent periodically checks these links to ensure they still point to valid targets, preventing broken navigation.

Setup guide

Set up Google Drive: Folders & Shared Drives 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 Google Drive: Folders & Shared Drives 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: "google-drive-folders-shared-drives-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "google-drive-folders-shared-drives-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Google Drive: Folders & Shared Drives transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
