How to Use the GorillaDesk MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I build a retry loop for GorillaDesk invoices with Mastra AI?

Use the workflow builder to wrap the getinvoice tool in a retry block. If the API returns a rate limit, the client backs off and tries again automatically.

Q: Can Mastra AI pause before executing a GorillaDesk customer update?

Yes, you configure the updatecustomer tool to require manual approval. The workflow stops and waits for an admin signal before modifying the record.

Q: How do I retrieve details for a specific technician?

Run listusers to get a complete roster of your staff. You can filter the output to find the exact technician assigned to a specific job.

Perplexity

Automated Job Scheduling Workflows

Mastra AI initiates complex scheduling chains by calling `list_jobs` to identify gaps in the technician's calendar. If a conflict occurs, the workflow engine automatically retries the query with adjusted parameters. Once a free slot is identified, the agent runs `create_customer` to set up the new client. The entire process runs in the background without requiring manual data entry.

Resilient Billing and Invoice Retries

The `get_invoice` tool retrieves specific payment details to trigger automated collections. If the initial payment check fails, Mastra's workflow engine pauses and retries with exponential backoff. After verification, the system runs `create_note` to document the payment status on the profile. This keeps your records accurate without human supervisors checking every transaction.

Mastra AI Customer Updates

Mastra AI handles sensitive database changes by routing `update_customer` through an approved MCP pipeline. The agent staging the change waits for a manager's confirmation before executing the update. Administrators review the proposed changes alongside data retrieved from `get_customer`. This prevents accidental edits to critical service addresses and billing terms.

Setup guide

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

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

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