How to Use the Layup MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can I require human approval before a Mastra AI agent cancels a Layup order?

Yes, you can configure Mastra's requireToolApproval option specifically for the cancelorder tool. When the agent decides to void a lay-by plan, the workflow pauses until an admin approves the action. This protects your high-value customer relationships from accidental automated cancellations.

Automate Layup deposit tracking in Mastra AI

`create_deposit` is the core tool your Mastra AI agent executes to log manual payments within your automated workflows. By building a Mastra step-based workflow, you can trigger this tool whenever an external payment webhook fires. If the transaction fails, Mastra's built-in retry engine handles the error gracefully. The agent will run `get_payment` to confirm the ledger status before attempting a second sync using this MCP link.

Run conditional lay-by cleanups using this MCP Server

`cancel_order` acts as the safety valve in your Mastra AI automated cleanup routines when shoppers miss their lay-by deadlines. The workflow engine evaluates the payment history via `list_payments` before deciding whether to void the order. You can set up human-in-the-loop approvals using Mastra's tool gating before executing the cancellation. This ensures your team can manually review a high-value customer before this MCP Server releases their reserved inventory.

Sync shopper profiles using Mastra AI background agents

`list_customers` scans your global shopper database to match incoming payment plans with existing accounts. Mastra AI agents run this tool in background loops to keep your customer records unified across your ecommerce stack. When a new plan starts, the agent runs `get_customer` to verify billing parameters. This background synchronization prevents double-entry issues and keeps your customer support dashboard accurate.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Layup MCP in Mastra AI

Instantiate the client using your Vinkius MCP setup URL. Use `mcpClient.listTools()` to retrieve the tools and spread them directly into your agent's tool array. This gives your Mastra AI workflows instant access to tools like `create_order` and `list_orders`.

Yes, you can configure Mastra's `requireToolApproval` option specifically for the `cancel_order` tool. When the agent decides to void a lay-by plan, the workflow pauses until an admin approves the action. This protects your high-value customer relationships from accidental automated cancellations.

Mastra AI features built-in exponential backoff that manages API rate limits during heavy syncs. If your agent calls `list_payments` repeatedly during peak sales, the client queues the requests automatically. This prevents your lay-by tracking workflows from failing due to temporary API blocks.

You can chain multiple tools to build complex payment recovery steps. For example, your agent can run `list_orders` to find overdue plans, fetch customer details with `get_customer`, and queue a reminder. This keeps your lay-by operations running without manual oversight.

This MCP Server processes customer names and payment histories strictly within ephemeral V8 isolates. Mastra AI communicates with the server via secure, authenticated endpoints provided by Vinkius. No raw financial data is ever stored permanently on the server side.
