Perplexity

Execute commands through NLA

The `send_natural_language_command` tool allows you to send any smart home command. Zapier then interprets it and directs it to the best matching action automatically. For direct, predictable execution, use `execute_zapier_action`, which runs a specific exposed action by ID.

Discover available automation methods

You can pull together every potential integration using `list_smarthome_actions`. This function returns up to 50 matching actions across over 5000 app integrations. If you need more targeted options, check the specialized lists: `list_lighting_actions` or `list_security_actions`.

Plan and preview smart home routines

Need to see how a command will work before running it? Call `preview_zapier_zap`. This tool lets your agent test a Zap based on just a natural language description. Or, you can get the full scope of available controls by calling `list_exposed_actions`, which details everything exposed for AI control.

Setup guide

Set up Zapier Smart Home 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 Zapier Smart Home 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: "zapier-smart-home-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "zapier-smart-home-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

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