How to Use the HelpCrunch MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How does Mastra AI handle HelpCrunch tool errors?

Mastra AI uses built-in retry logic. If a request like sendchatmessage fails, the framework automatically tries again based on your defined policy.

Q: Can Mastra AI search HelpCrunch customers during a workflow?

Absolutely. You plug searchcustomers into your agent's tool list, and it performs the lookup automatically as part of your workflow steps.

Q: Will HelpCrunch tools in Mastra AI require approval?

You can toggle requireToolApproval for sensitive actions. This forces a human to review the action before the MCP Server sends the data.

Automated ticket routing in Mastra AI

Use `list_departments` and `list_team_agents` to build logic that assigns tickets to the right person. Mastra AI handles the branching if your first choice is unavailable. It creates a reliable path for your support operations. You define the rules, and the MCP Server executes the lookup.

Conditional message responses

Deploy `send_chat_message` within your agent pipelines to reply to customers automatically. You can set up triggers that only fire when specific conditions are met. This keeps your workflow moving without human input. It handles the back-and-forth so your team only sees the complex cases.

Webhook and event monitoring

Keep track of your environment with `list_active_webhooks`. It ensures your Mastra AI agents are always synced with the latest HelpCrunch events. If a webhook fails, your agent knows immediately. It provides the visibility you need to keep your support pipeline running smoothly.

Setup guide

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

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

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