How to Use the Guidebook MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can Mastra AI handle Guidebook API rate limits automatically?

Yes, it can. You can design a Mastra workflow that calls getratelimit and uses conditional steps to pause updates if capacity is low.

Q: How do I manage exhibitor lists using Guidebook and Mastra AI?

Use the listcustomlists tool inside a Mastra agent workflow. This lets you pull, verify, and update sponsor or exhibitor data programmatically.

Perplexity

Resilient schedule sync workflows

Build bulletproof workflows that sync your CMS to the event app. Mastra AI uses `list_sessions` to verify existing entries, then runs conditional checks before updating. If the Guidebook API times out, Mastra's built-in retry engine handles it automatically. Your schedule updates complete without manual intervention or script crashes.

Automated speaker profile validation

Automate how you manage presenter information. The agent uses `list_speakers` and `get_speaker` to verify bios against your main database. If a bio is missing or formatted incorrectly, the workflow halts. Mastra AI can trigger a Slack notification to your team instead of pushing bad data to the mobile app.

Rate-aware custom list updates in Mastra AI

Update sponsor and exhibitor directories without hitting API caps. This MCP Server monitors limits using `get_rate_limit` and pauses execution if you get too close to the ceiling. The workflow uses `list_custom_lists` to batch updates to your directories. If the limit is tight, the agent queues the remaining changes for later.

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-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "guidebook-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);
