About Temporal MCP Server
Connect your Temporal Cloud (or self-hosted) cluster to any AI agent and bring the power of durable execution directly into your IDE or chat via natural conversation.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and Temporal tool infrastructure. Connect 7 tools through Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution. deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
What you can do
- Workflows & Executions — List, filter, and inspect active, running, or completed workflow executions
- Workflow History — Retrieve the complete sequence of events, activities, and signals to debug failures
- Visibility Search — Run complex SQL-like queries using Temporal Visibility syntax to find specific runs
- Namespace Details — Check retention periods, configurations, and metadata of your operational namespace
- Schedules & Cron — Browse all recurring workflows and predict the next execution schedules
The Temporal MCP Server exposes 7 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Mastra AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
