Perplexity

Automated game data orchestration

Chain multiple API calls to build complex data pipelines. You can use `get_franchise` to trigger a follow-up `list_collections` call within your workflow logic. If a request fails, the framework handles the retry logic for you. It keeps your data flow steady even when the external API hits a temporary snag.

Conditional database logic

Write agents that branch based on game metadata. Use `list_genres` to check if a title is an RPG, then branch your workflow to pull `list_themes` for specific categorization. This allows for highly specific data processing. Your agent only gathers the info that actually matters for the current task.

Human-in-the-loop audit trails

Require manual approval before your agent commits changes or updates your local records. Use the `requireToolApproval` flag on any sensitive tool like `get_game`. You stay in control of the agent's actions. It gathers the facts, but you decide which ones move forward into your final report.

Setup guide

Set up IGDB Global Gaming Database 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 IGDB Global Gaming Database 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: "igdb-global-gaming-database-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "igdb-global-gaming-database-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent IGDB Global Gaming Database transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
