How to Use the Vertex AI Vector Search MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I handle a vector search failure using Vertex AI Vector Search and Mastra AI?

You simply include searchnearestneighbors in your workflow. Mastra AI's built-in engine automatically handles retries with exponential backoff, so your complex operation doesn't fail on the first hiccup.

Q: If I need to confirm index availability for a workflow step, what should I check using Vertex AI Vector Search and Mastra AI?

Use listindexendpoints and listvectorindexes. These tools let you pre-check that the required endpoints are active before your main search sequence even starts.

Q: What if a vector index needs configuration changes? How do I check it with Vertex AI Vector Search and Mastra AI?

The getindexdetails tool pulls all the specific metadata you need. This lets your workflow conditionally decide whether to proceed with the search or flag an error for human review.

Q: I need to build a reliable pipeline; which tools help me audit all index states with Vertex AI Vector Search and Mastra AI?

You'll use listvectoroperations for job tracking, combined with listdeployedindexes to see current deployment status. This gives you full visibility into your entire system state.

Perplexity

Execute reliable vector searches in complex flows.

The `search_nearest_neighbors` tool handles the core nearest neighbor similarity search. When building a multi-step workflow, you call this function to get embeddings results. Because Mastra AI automatically retries on failure, your entire search operation is far more dependable than one simple API call. The system ensures that if the first attempt fails, it doesn't just stop; it uses exponential backoff and keeps trying until the vector search succeeds or you explicitly tell it to fail.

Verify index settings before workflow steps.

Don't let a bad configuration crash your flow. Use `get_index_details` to check all metadata for a specific vector index within your Mastra AI sequence. This allows you to build conditional branching: if the details aren't right, the workflow can skip the search step and notify an admin instead. It’s vital setup work that keeps your complex multi-step processes running smoothly.

Audit all available index resources.

Need a full inventory? Mastra AI lets you call `list_vector_indexes` to get every vector index in the project. You can then use this list to decide which indexes are valid targets for your workflow's search step. Want to know what endpoints exist across the board? `list_index_endpoints` gives you that high-level view, letting you target your workflows accurately.

Setup guide

Set up Vertex AI Vector Search 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 Vertex AI Vector Search 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: "vertex-ai-vector-search-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "vertex-ai-vector-search-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Vertex AI Vector Search transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
