How to Use the MakePlans MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can I run parallel availability checks for different services?

Yes. You can query listservices and listavailableslots in parallel steps within a Mastra workflow. This allows your agent to compare multiple schedules simultaneously and present the best options to the user.

Automated scheduling workflows in Mastra AI

`list_available_slots` checks calendar availability as the first step in your autonomous booking workflows. Mastra AI runs this tool to find open times, then uses conditional branching to handle conflicts or suggest alternatives. If a selected time slot is taken, the workflow automatically retries with the next best option. This keeps your scheduling agent running without human intervention, even during high-traffic booking windows.

Safe booking execution with approval gates

`create_booking` schedules the appointment once your Mastra AI agent verifies the customer's details. You can configure a human-in-the-loop gate that pauses the workflow until an admin approves the booking. The workflow engine holds the state securely while waiting for approval. Once confirmed, it fires the tool, updates MakePlans, and triggers follow-up actions like email notifications.

Automatic resource allocation using MCP Server tools

`list_resources` finds available equipment, rooms, or staff members before finalizing any appointment. Your agent queries this tool to make sure you never book a service without the necessary assets in place. By coupling this with get_service, the agent matches the exact requirements of a booking to your real-world assets. This eliminates double-booking errors and ensures smooth operations at your venue.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about MakePlans MCP in Mastra AI

Install @mastra/mcp and instantiate the MCP client with your Vinkius HTTP endpoint. You can then get the tools using mcpClient.listTools() and spread them directly into your Mastra agent's tool configuration.

Yes, Mastra AI has a built-in workflow engine that handles retries and backoff. If a create_booking call fails due to a temporary API hiccup, the workflow retries the operation automatically based on your defined backoff strategy.

Use Mastra's requireToolApproval configuration on the create_booking tool. This pauses the agent's execution and alerts your admin, who can review the booking details before letting the tool run.

Yes. You can query list_services and list_available_slots in parallel steps within a Mastra workflow. This allows your agent to compare multiple schedules simultaneously and present the best options to the user.

All customer names, email addresses, and phone numbers processed by list_people are kept within your secure Mastra runtime. The Vinkius sandbox ensures that API tokens are never exposed to the client-side environment, maintaining strict data isolation.
