Automate Collection Auditing with Mastra AI

The `get_user_collections` tool fetches your complete itch.io collection list, including collection IDs and game counts. This MCP Server tool acts as the entry point for your agent to map out how your library is organized. Mastra AI lets you build workflows that check these collections sequentially. If a collection game count changes, the framework can automatically trigger secondary tasks to sync the new titles.

Build Resilient Game Inventory Syncs

The `get_user_games` tool pulls all games associated with your account, covering purchases, creations, and collected titles. It provides titles, pricing, and developer details in a structured format. Because API requests can occasionally fail, Mastra handles transient errors gracefully. Exponential backoff is applied automatically to retry the tool call if itch.io rate limits your request.

Verify Accounts in Multi-Step Workflows

The `get_me` tool retrieves your profile information to verify your credentials and establish your identity. It returns your display name, username, and profile URL. You can set up a conditional workflow that runs this tool first. If the profile check fails, the Mastra agent stops execution immediately and notifies you, preventing unnecessary API calls down the line.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about itch.io MCP in Mastra AI

Instantiate the client using `new MCPClient` with the Vinkius URL. Then, call `listTools` and spread them directly into your Mastra agent configuration.

Yes. Mastra uses its native workflow engine to apply automatic retries with exponential backoff to any tool like `get_collection_games` if the connection drops.

Since this MCP Server only reads data, approval isn't strictly necessary. However, you can configure Mastra's `requireToolApproval` flag to pause the agent before it runs `get_user_games`.

You configure the API key in your Vinkius dashboard. The hosted server handles the authentication, so your Mastra code only needs the single endpoint token.

Vinkius manages your API keys in an encrypted vault. Your itch.io profile, game, and collection data pass through ephemeral MCP sandboxes that dissolve immediately after the tool execution finishes.
