Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a song if I only know a few words of the lyrics?
Yes! Use the search tool with the lyrics you remember. The agent will return the most relevant song matches from the Genius database.
How do I see the meaning behind a specific line in a song?
You can use get_referents with a song_id to see all annotated sections, or get_annotation with a specific ID to read the detailed community explanation.
Is it possible to vote on annotations through the AI?
Absolutely. You can use upvote_annotation, downvote_annotation, or unvote_annotation by providing the Annotation ID, provided your token has the necessary scopes.
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.
