Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a book specifically by its ISBN?
Yes. Use the search_volumes tool and include isbn: followed by the number in the query string (e.g., isbn:9780141036144).
How do I add a book to my personal 'Favorites' shelf?
Use the add_volume_to_my_bookshelf tool. You will need the volumeId of the book and the shelf ID (usually '0' for Favorites). This requires an OAuth access token.
Can I filter search results to only show free ebooks?
Absolutely. When using search_volumes, set the filter parameter to free-ebooks to restrict results to titles available at no cost.
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.
