Perplexity

Automated research flows with Mastra AI

Define complex agents that use `get_curated_podcasts` to gather industry insights. Mastra AI manages the state and handles any network hiccups automatically. If the initial request fails, the workflow engine retries the call. You get reliable data without writing manual error-handling loops for every API interaction.

Conditional episode analysis for Mastra AI agents

Trigger `get_episode_details` based on specific search results found by your agent. You can branch your logic if the episode length exceeds your criteria. This MCP Server keeps your agent focused on the task. It provides clean, typed data that your workflow engine uses to decide the next step in the sequence.

Trending search automation in your Mastra AI crew

Use `get_trending_podcast_searches` to keep your agents updated on current topics. The agent fetches these trends and adjusts its research focus on the fly. Mastra AI integrates these tools into your main workflow definition. You just call the tool, and the MCP Server returns the current trending terms for your agent to analyze.

Setup guide

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

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

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