How to Use the ISO New England MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I register the ISO New England MCP Server in Mastra AI?

You initialize the client using @mastra/mcp and pass the Vinkius server URL. Once connected, call listTools() and spread the returned tools directly into your Agent's configuration. Mastra handles the underlying transport protocol automatically.

Q: Can Mastra AI trigger workflows based on ISO New England price spikes?

Yes. You can design a Mastra workflow that uses gethourlylmp to check prices at regular intervals. If the price exceeds your target, the workflow executes conditional steps like sending a Slack notification or triggering a local script.

Build resilient TS agents that monitor ISO New England grid anomalies and execute automated workflow responses with Mastra AI.

Automated price monitoring with this MCP Server

This MCP Server provides access to hourly and day-ahead electricity prices via `get_hourly_lmp` and `get_day_ahead_lmp`. Your Mastra AI agent uses these tools to monitor price spikes across different pricing nodes. You can set up workflows that trigger whenever the clearing price crosses a specific dollar threshold. Because Mastra has a built-in workflow engine, it handles transient network errors automatically. If the ISO New England API rate-limits a request, the framework retries with exponential backoff. Your price-monitoring loops keep running without crashing.

Audit stability metrics autonomously

Grid stability auditing relies on `get_regulation` and `get_reserve` to track clearing prices and capacity. The Mastra agent polls these endpoints to evaluate whether the grid has enough operating reserves during high-demand periods. You can build conditional branches based on this data. For example, if reserves drop below a critical threshold, the agent automatically executes a branch to alert your operations team. This lets you build active monitoring tools that don't need human eyes on a screen 24/7.

Track regional energy imports and exports

Your Mastra AI agent tracks electricity flowing across regional borders using `get_actual_interchange`. This tool reveals the net megawatts imported from neighboring grids like NYISO or Hydro-Quebec. It gives your workflows clear insight into where New England is getting its power during peak hours. The agent combines this interchange data with current load metrics to map out regional reliance. By spreading this MCP tool into your agent's toolkit, you give it the context needed to make smart decisions during grid stress events.

Setup guide

Set up ISO New England 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 ISO New England 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: "iso-new-england-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "iso-new-england-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

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

Common questions about ISO New England MCP in Mastra AI

You initialize the client using `@mastra/mcp` and pass the Vinkius server URL. Once connected, call `listTools()` and spread the returned tools directly into your Agent's configuration. Mastra handles the underlying transport protocol automatically.

Yes. You can design a Mastra workflow that uses `get_hourly_lmp` to check prices at regular intervals. If the price exceeds your target, the workflow executes conditional steps like sending a Slack notification or triggering a local script.

Absolutely. You can configure Mastra to require manual approval before your agent executes specific tools like fetching large datasets or sending alerts. This ensures a human verifies the grid data before any major action occurs.

Mastra AI has built-in retry mechanisms with exponential backoff. If the server experiences temporary downtime or rate limiting while fetching grid metrics, the workflow engine retries the call automatically before throwing an error.

The tool only reads public ISO New England grid and energy market data, specifically megawatt loads and pricing statistics. Vinkius isolates the connection in a secure sandbox, ensuring no internal network configurations or credentials are ever exposed.
