Automated image workflows in Mastra AI

Chain your image retrieval tasks by using `list_images` within your agent's agentic flow. If a network blip occurs, the framework handles the retry logic so your image metadata arrives reliably. This approach lets you define complex sequences where an agent gathers data and then acts on it. You can branch your logic based on the image info returned by the server.

Advanced tool control for Mastra AI agents

Restrict or permit specific actions like `get_specific_image_url` by configuring your agent's tool set. You control exactly what the agent can request from the Lorem Picsum API. This gives you fine-grained authority over your automation. You can even force human-in-the-loop approval for specific image generation tasks to prevent unexpected results.

Persistent metadata management

Use `get_seed_info` to track image metadata across long-running Mastra AI workflows. This allows your agent to reference specific assets throughout the entire lifecycle of a task. Your agents maintain context of which images were used in previous steps. It’s perfect for multi-stage prototyping where image consistency matters for your final output.

Setup guide

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

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

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