Frequently asked questions
How do I get a GIPHY API Key?
Visit GIPHY Developers, create a free account, create an app, and copy your API key. Takes less than 2 minutes.
What's the difference between search and translate?
search_gifs returns multiple results matching your query. translate_to_gif returns a single, most relevant GIF for a word or phrase — like a smart translation.
Can I filter content by age rating?
Yes! All search and trending tools support rating filters: g (general), pg (parental guidance), pg-13, and r (restricted).
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.
