How to Use the Twist MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How does Mastra AI list channels for a workflow?

It calls listchannels, passing in the appropriate workspace ID. This gives your agent the full directory structure needed to proceed with its steps.

Q: Can I use Mastra AI to update messages?

Yes, you can modify private communications using updatedirectmessage or adjust a discussion's focus via updatethread. These are critical for error recovery workflows.

Q: What if the workflow needs to create new content with Mastra AI?

You use createthread for an initial, structured discussion, or senddirectmessage if it's a private message. The tool handles both initiation points.

Q: Does the MCP Server support listing workspaces? (Mastra AI)

Yes. You call listworkspaces to identify all bounded Twist Workspaces that your workflow needs to manage or monitor.

Build reliable, fault-tolerant workflows for Twists using Mastra AI.

Gathering Context with the MCP Server

Start your workflow by calling `list_workspaces` to identify all potential team boundaries. You can then run `list_channels` against a specific workspace ID, collecting all necessary endpoints. This foundational discovery step ensures that when your Mastra AI agent tries to act, it knows exactly which channels exist.

Modifying Records in Complex Workflows

When a workflow needs to correct itself or update old data, use `update_direct_message` with the specific message ID. This modifies the content of an already sent private message. Alternatively, if you need to adjust a discussion's focus, `update_thread` lets your agent change the title or body of an existing thread.

Executing Actions with Mastra AI

The `send_direct_message` tool is key for executing private communications as a step in a workflow. You provide the conversation ID and the required content. If your process requires an immediate follow-up, you can use `create_comment` to post a reply directly into an active thread.

Setup guide

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

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

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