Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find high-resolution artwork just by providing a game name?
Yes! Your agent can use search_games to find the unique ID and then run get_artworks or search_covers to retrieve multiple high-resolution image URLs directly from the IGDB cloud in seconds.
How do I easily check if a game is suitable for certain age groups in different regions?
Simply ask the agent to run the list_age_ratings tool. It will compile data from global systems like ESRB, PEGI, and CERO, providing precise content descriptors and rating levels for the target title.
Does the integration permit listing all games within a specific franchise or collection?
Yes. Tools like get_franchise and list_collections allow your agent to retrieve the entire historical timeline of a series, grouping related titles and spin-offs under their structural parent IDs.
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.
