Mastra AI workflow integration

Deploy `recommend_optimal_tax_strategy` within your agent workflows to automate complex tax decisions. Mastra handles the execution flow and any necessary retries if network issues occur. Your agents can now compare methodologies as part of a larger, multi-step financial pipeline. It ensures your tax strategy logic is consistent and repeatable.

Reliable credit calculation

Use `calculate_regular_method_credit` inside your Mastra agents to evaluate research expenditures against base periods. The agent can verify results before proceeding to the next step. This removes manual oversight from the initial calculation phase. If the agent detects an error in the input data, you can trigger a fallback branch to request more information.

ASC method automation

Implement `calculate_asc_method_credit` to handle the simpler, secondary tax methodology within your agents. It provides a stable calculation path for companies lacking deep historical records. This tool fits perfectly into a Mastra agent that monitors for compliance changes. It keeps your tax operations running without human intervention.

Setup guide

Set up R&D Tax Credit Calculator MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All R&D Tax Credit Calculator tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "rd-tax-credit-calculator-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "rd-tax-credit-calculator-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "R&D Tax Credit Calculator Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to R&D Tax Credit Calculator tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent R&D Tax Credit Calculator transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);

Common questions about R&D Tax Credit Calculator MCP in Mastra AI

Initialize a new client with your specific MCP URL and register the tools within your agent definition. This allows your workflows to access the math functions immediately.

Yes. Mastra supports exponential backoff for tool calls. If the R&D Tax Credit Calculator encounters a transient error, the agent will attempt the calculation again.

Absolutely. You can branch your workflow based on the output of the strategy tool. If the credit amount exceeds a certain threshold, the agent can notify an admin.

You can enable tool approval settings. This forces the agent to pause and wait for your manual sign-off before executing any tax-related calculations.

The MCP treats your QRE figures as transient inputs. It performs the calculation and clears the data from its memory immediately after the task finishes.
