Automated task workflows in Mastra AI

Use `extract_markdown_todos` to trigger logic based on your personal to-do list. Your Mastra agents can now branch workflows based on whether a task is complete or pending. This turns static notes into active inputs for your automation chains. You define the rules, and the agent handles the file scanning.

Error-proof task retrieval for agents

The `extract_markdown_todos` tool integrates into your Mastra agent tools list, allowing for automatic retries if a directory is locked. It ensures your agent always gets the latest state of your notes. This is critical for long-running processes that depend on up-to-date information. If a scan fails, the agent handles the retry logic automatically.

Conditional task processing for complex systems

You can now create agents that scan folders for specific keywords alongside task status. The `extract_markdown_todos` tool provides the raw data needed for these complex evaluation steps. Your Mastra workflows can decide whether to escalate a task or archive it based on these results. It moves the intelligence closer to your data.

Setup guide

Set up Markdown Task Extractor 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 Markdown Task Extractor 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: "markdown-task-extractor-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "markdown-task-extractor-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

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