How to Use the Newslit MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How does Mastra AI handle errors when Newslit tools fail?

The workflow engine has built-in exponential backoff. If createreport fails due to an API timeout, the agent retries the call automatically before throwing an error.

Build resilient monitoring flows with Mastra AI

The `list_stories` tool retrieves fresh press mentions within automated workflows that handle network drops gracefully. Mastra AI wraps this tool in its execution engine, retrying the query if the underlying media index experiences temporary downtime. The MCP connection ensures the payload structure remains consistent. PR teams get uninterrupted coverage tracking because the workflow handles rate limits and API hiccups behind the scenes. The agent continues gathering intelligence without manual intervention. It's a hands-off approach to tracking brand reputation.

Automate conditional report cleanup

The `delete_report` tool removes outdated media tracking files when an agent determines a PR campaign has ended. You write conditional branches in your workflow to evaluate report age before triggering this cleanup. The MCP Server executes the deletion securely once the conditions are met. This automation keeps your workspace clean of dead tracking configurations. The agent runs the check daily, purging old files while keeping active campaigns untouched. You don't have to worry about manual database maintenance.

Maintain accurate media reports with automated updates

The `update_report` tool modifies tracking keywords whenever your brand strategy shifts. Mastra AI executes this tool as part of a multi-step workflow that triggers whenever marketing updates the master keyword database. The MCP protocol passes the new parameters to the server instantly. This ensures your press tracking parameters stay aligned with your active campaigns. The agent handles the updates across all active reports without requiring developer time. It keeps your reporting accurate without manual editing.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Newslit MCP in Mastra AI

You initialize the MCP client and register it with your Mastra instance. The agent automatically discovers tools like `list_reports` and uses them inside its decision-making loops.

Yes, you can branch your workflows based on media coverage. For example, use `get_report` to check coverage volume, and if it exceeds a threshold, trigger an escalation workflow.

The workflow engine has built-in exponential backoff. If `create_report` fails due to an API timeout, the agent retries the call automatically before throwing an error.

Yes, you can configure the framework to require manual approval before running destructive actions. An operator must confirm the action before the agent executes the call to delete a report.

All communications pass through a zero-trust network managed by Vinkius. Your news reports and active monitoring parameters remain encrypted in transit, isolated from other server runtimes.
