Automate daily Martian photo digests

The `get_mars_latest` tool feeds raw Curiosity imagery directly into your Mastra AI workflow engine. You set up a scheduled agent to hit this endpoint every morning. If NASA's servers drop the connection, Mastra automatically retries with exponential backoff until the payload comes through. Once the image data arrives, your workflow branches based on the results. If the rover sent new CHEMCAM shots, the agent routes them to a specific Slack channel. If the payload is empty, the workflow terminates gracefully without crashing your app.

Cross-reference mission data reliably

The `get_mars_manifest` tool serves as the ground truth for your Mastra AI automated pipelines. Before your agent attempts to download thousands of images, it queries the manifest to verify the rover was actually operational on that sol. This conditional logic saves massive amounts of bandwidth. You spread these tools directly into your Agent configuration using `mcpClient.listTools()`. The framework handles the Streamable HTTP transport automatically, ensuring the manifest data parses correctly every single time.

Query 800K+ photos with the Mastra AI MCP Server

The `get_mars_photos_by_date` tool lets your error-handling workflows pull historical data from Spirit and Opportunity. You build a multi-step process where the agent tries a specific Earth date, and if the API returns an empty array, it automatically increments the date and tries again. This is exactly what Mastra excels at. You do not write the retry loops or the failure logic. You just give the agent the tool, and it brute-forces the archive until it finds the specific MAHLI or MARDI camera shots you requested.

Setup guide

Set up NASA Mars — Rover Photos from the Red Planet 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. 1

    Install dependencies

    Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).

  2. 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. 3

    Discover and inject tools

    Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All NASA Mars — Rover Photos from the Red Planet tools become native Mastra tools.

  4. 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: "nasa-mars-rover-photos-from-the-red-planet-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "nasa-mars-rover-photos-from-the-red-planet-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "NASA Mars — Rover Photos from the Red Planet Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to NASA Mars — Rover Photos from the Red Planet tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent NASA Mars — Rover Photos from the Red Planet transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);

Common questions about NASA Mars — Rover Photos from the Red Planet MCP in Mastra AI

Run `npm install @mastra/mcp@latest`. Then initialize `MCPClient` with your server URL and spread the tools into your agent's tool array.
It handles network failures automatically. If `get_mars_photos` hits a rate limit or a timeout from the NASA backend, your workflow uses exponential backoff until the call succeeds.
Sometimes the rover does not take pictures. The `get_mars_manifest` tool tells your agent exactly which sols have data, allowing you to build conditional branches that skip empty days.
You can enable `requireToolApproval` in your Mastra configuration. The workflow will pause and wait for you to confirm before executing a heavy `get_mars_photos` pull.
The server processes public Mars rover imagery and mission status data in an isolated V8 sandbox. Your proprietary workflow logic stays inside your infrastructure, and the ephemeral container dies immediately after fetching the FHAZ or RHAZ photos.
