Frequently asked questions
Can I publish a new post directly from the chat?
Yes! Use the create_article tool by providing a title and the markdown content. You can also set the published status to true or false for drafts.
How do I see my own drafts and published posts?
You can use the list_my_articles tool. It allows you to filter by type, such as 'all', 'published', or 'unpublished' (drafts).
Can I look up another user's profile information?
Yes, use the get_user tool with either their unique User ID or their username to retrieve their public profile details.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
