How to Use the MENU TIGER MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I add MENU TIGER tools via MCP to a Mastra AI agent?

Install @mastra/mcp and instantiate the client with the server URL. You can then call listTools() and spread them directly into your agent's tool configuration array.

Q: How does Mastra AI handle MENU TIGER connection state checks?

The agent uses getmenu and listcategories to map out the entire nested layout. This structure is passed directly into Mastra's context memory, allowing the model to make highly accurate item recommendations.

Q: Can I run these workflows on a cron schedule?

Yes, Mastra's built-in scheduler can trigger agents to run listorders every minute. This lets you build background monitors that flag delayed orders automatically.

Build resilient, multi-step restaurant workflows using Mastra AI and this MENU TIGER integration.

Perplexity

Automated error handling with Mastra AI

Restaurants are chaotic environments where network connections drop constantly. This MENU TIGER MCP Server integrates with Mastra's workflow engine to automatically retry failed requests like `update_order_status` using exponential backoff. If an order update fails because the kitchen tablet went offline, Mastra catches the error. It can trigger `check_menutiger_status` to diagnose the connection before notifying the manager via SMS.

Conditional order routing logic

You can construct complex pathways that run automatically when an order is received. When `list_orders` detects a new ticket, Mastra evaluates the items using `get_item` to determine where to route the preparation request. If a high-value order contains items from the grill category, the workflow routes it to the main kitchen agent. If it only contains drinks, Mastra updates the status to ready immediately without human intervention.

Automated menu synchronization

Keep your digital menus aligned across multiple platforms without manual data entry. Mastra agents can schedule regular checks using `list_menus` and `list_categories` to find discrepancies between databases. When a change is detected, the agent pulls the full details via `get_menu` and updates your external POS system. It eliminates the double-entry headache that plagues busy restaurant managers.

Setup guide

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

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

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