Perplexity

Control workflows via Mastra AI agents

Integrate `list_workflows` into your agent toolset to let your code inspect the environment. Your agents now understand what automations are available to run. It removes the need for manual orchestration. The agent identifies the right workflow based on the task description.

Audit credential security

Run `list_stored_credentials` to verify that your workflows have the correct access. Your agents can flag misconfigured secrets before a process triggers. This adds a layer of automated governance to your setup. You catch auth issues before they break your production pipelines.

Automate failure handling

Use `get_execution_details` to inspect why a process failed. Your agent can then decide if it should retry the sequence or notify a human. This closes the loop on automated error recovery. Your system becomes self-healing rather than just logging errors.

Setup guide

Set up n8n (AI Workflow Automation) 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 n8n (AI Workflow Automation) 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: "n8n-ai-workflow-automation-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "n8n-ai-workflow-automation-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "n8n (AI Workflow Automation) Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to n8n (AI Workflow Automation) tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent n8n (AI Workflow Automation) transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);

Common questions about n8n (AI Workflow Automation) MCP in Mastra AI

Yes. You can toggle the approval requirement in your Mastra config. This forces a human check before the agent executes any tool.

Initialize the MCPClient with the Vinkius endpoint URL. Once connected, spread the tools into your agent definition to grant them access.
