Automated market response in Mastra AI

Create agent workflows that react to price volatility. Use `get_realtime_spp` to trigger logic when Texas electricity prices cross your defined threshold. If the data shows a spike, your Mastra agent handles the next step. You define the condition once and let the engine manage the execution flow.

Multi-ISO grid monitoring

Monitor generation and load across all major regions by calling `get_fuel_mix` and `get_load_data`. Your agents can switch between ISO contexts without extra configuration. This allows for global grid oversight within a single agent framework. You track the renewable energy transition by comparing generation sources across different markets.

Reliable data ingestion for workflows

Use `get_dataset_metadata` to verify data availability before your agents start their tasks. This prevents runtime errors in your long-running processes. It ensures your agents work with accurate, up-to-date inputs. You catch schema issues before they impact your trading or reporting logic.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about GridStatus MCP in Mastra AI

You instantiate the MCP client and spread the tool list into your agent's configuration. This gives your agent immediate access to all grid data functions.

Absolutely. You can build a Mastra workflow that periodically calls `get_lmp_data` for specific nodes. The agent then processes that data based on your rules.

Mastra handles the execution logic, while the MCP server provides the data. If a request fails, you can configure your agent to retry the tool call based on your specific error handling requirements.

The MCP server acts as a secure pipe for grid information. It only transmits market data, ensuring your internal workflow logic stays separate from the data source.

Yes. You can pull historical nodal pricing using `get_lmp_data` or `get_spp_data`. These tools provide the raw data your agents need to train or test new market strategies.
