How to Use the Guidebook MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I register the Guidebook MCP Server with Mastra AI?

You initialize the client using new MCPClient and pass the server URL. Then, you pull the tools using listTools() and spread them directly into your agent's tool configuration array.

Q: Can I require human approval before Mastra AI updates a Guidebook schedule?

Yes. You can use Mastra's requireToolApproval setting on tools like updateguide or createcustomlistitem. This ensures your event staff review any changes before they are pushed to the live mobile app.

Build resilient, multi-step event workflows that sync with Guidebook using Mastra AI agents.

Build Resilient Workflows with Mastra AI and MCP

Event logistics are messy, and APIs fail when thousands of attendees check in at once. This MCP Server lets you build workflows with automatic retries to handle these spikes. When your agent runs `update_guide` or `create_custom_list_item`, Mastra handles the backoff logic if the network hiccups. You can define clear conditional paths. If `check_guidebook_status` returns an error, your workflow can automatically route notifications to your team instead of crashing. This keeps your event operations running even under heavy load.

Automate Attendee Syncing and Segmentation

Syncing registration databases with your mobile guide shouldn't be a manual chore. Your agent can use `list_attendees` to pull the current roster and compare it against your internal CRM. From there, it can dynamically update user segments or trigger personalized schedule recommendations. Because Mastra supports human-in-the-loop approvals, you can set `requireToolApproval` on sensitive actions. The agent drafts the updates, but a human approves them before they go live on the mobile app.

Dynamic Guide Configuration and Auditing

Keep your mobile guides accurate by setting up automated audit loops. Your agent can query `list_guides` and `get_guide` to inspect the structure of your active mobile apps. If it finds missing maps or broken links, it flags them instantly. You can write a workflow that automatically populates missing rooms by mapping `list_locations` to your main schedule. It ensures that no session is left without a physical room assignment before the doors open.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Guidebook MCP in Mastra AI

You initialize the client using `new MCPClient` and pass the server URL. Then, you pull the tools using `listTools()` and spread them directly into your agent's tool configuration array.

Yes. You can use Mastra's `requireToolApproval` setting on tools like `update_guide` or `create_custom_list_item`. This ensures your event staff review any changes before they are pushed to the live mobile app.

Mastra's built-in workflow engine uses automatic retries with exponential backoff. If a call to `list_events` or `get_event` fails due to rate limits, the system pauses and retries without failing the entire run.

Yes. You can run the server locally or use the Vinkius managed endpoint. The agent connects via standard MCP transports like SSE, making local testing straightforward.

All transactions run through ephemeral V8 isolates. Your guide configurations, session details from `get_event`, and custom lists are processed in memory and never stored on disk, keeping your event IP locked down.
