How to Use the Tyk MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Is there a way for Mastra AI to test policy changes with Tyk?

Yes, you can use the MCP Server's tools like getpolicy and then follow up with an update via updatepolicy. This lets your agent client validate rules before committing them.

Q: If I change credentials in Tyk using Mastra AI, what should I know?

You can use createorgkey or createapidefinition to manage the necessary resources. Remember that managing these keys is critical for your agent's ability to perform multi-step operations.

Q: Does Tyk support credential management with Mastra AI?

It does. You can generate new credentials using createkey or manage existing ones by calling getkey. This makes the failure handling and retries in your agent reliable.

Build resilient, multi-step operational flows with the Mastra AI framework.

Update security policies via MCP Server

The `update_policy` tool lets you change an existing API policy directly through your agent workflow. If a payment method changes, for example, you update the rule set here. This ensures that when Mastra AI retries a failed step with exponential backoff, it's doing so under the correct, current operational rules.

Control API key lifecycle

When your workflow needs to revoke access after a failure or successful retry, use `delete_key`. You can also retrieve specific credentials by calling `get_key`. These actions are essential for building reliable multi-step flows that manage sensitive resource access automatically.

Force API gateway hot reload

The `hot_reload` tool forces the Tyk Gateway to refresh its configuration instantly. This is huge for debugging complex, long-running workflows. When you deploy a fix or make an immediate rule change, calling this ensures your agent client sees those updates without needing a full system restart.

Setup guide

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

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

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