How to Use the IMDB API (Unofficial) MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can I use the IMDB API (Unofficial) for conditional branches in Mastra AI?

Absolutely. Use the output of checkapistatus to toggle branches. If the status is false, your agent can route to a cached data source instead.

Perplexity

Automate movie metadata with Mastra AI

Integrate `get_imdb_movie_details` into your agentic workflows. Mastra handles the retries if the network flickers, keeping your data pipeline moving. It fits right into your existing agent tools. You define the flow and the agent executes it.

Complex cast lookups for Mastra AI

Chain `get_imdb_cast_details` into your multi-step agents to build full actor profiles. If the first attempt fails, your Mastra workflow handles the retry logic automatically. This keeps your agent logic clean. You focus on the business rules while the server handles the data retrieval.

Check service health for your MCP Server

Use `check_api_status` as a conditional guard in your workflow. If the service is down, your agent skips the movie lookup steps entirely. It prevents your workflows from hanging. You gain predictable behavior for every automated task.

Setup guide

Set up IMDB API (Unofficial) 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 IMDB API (Unofficial) 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: "imdb-api-unofficial-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "imdb-api-unofficial-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

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