Build resilient booking workflows with Mastra AI

The `reserve_desk` tool integrates into your Mastra workflows via MCP to automate physical seating arrangements. If a booking fails, Mastra's built-in retry logic kicks in to try another desk automatically. Your agent calls `list_desks` to find alternative seating options when a preferred spot is taken. The workflow engine handles these decisions programmatically, keeping employees seated without human intervention.

Automate workspace assignments using this MCP Server

The `get_location` tool fetches office details to orient new hires on their first day. Mastra routes this data to assign them to the correct regional building automatically. After locating the user, the agent runs `book_space` to schedule their orientation sessions. The entire sequence runs as a single, stateful workflow that recovers gracefully from network hiccups.

Release unused office resources automatically

The `cancel_desk_reservation` tool clears out abandoned bookings to keep your floor plans accurate. Mastra triggers this tool whenever a sensor or check-in log shows a desk is empty. To confirm room status, the agent uses `get_space` to verify if a meeting actually started. If the room is empty, the workflow cancels the event and updates the company directory.

Setup guide

Set up Robin 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 Robin 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: "robin-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "robin-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Robin transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);

Common questions about Robin MCP in Mastra AI

Initialize the MCP client, call listTools, and spread those tools directly into your Mastra agent definition. The agent can then use `book_space` or `reserve_desk` inside any step-by-step workflow.

Yes, you can use Mastra's human-in-the-loop feature to pause the workflow. The agent checks availability with `get_free_busy`, asks the user for confirmation, and only calls `book_space` after approval.

Mastra AI automatically retries the failed tool call using exponential backoff. This ensures tasks like `list_space_events` complete even during peak morning booking hours.

Deploy your Mastra project to your preferred cloud using their CLI. Vinkius hosts the underlying server, giving you a single secure endpoint to connect your agents.

Yes, all communication between Mastra and Robin goes through an ephemeral, zero-trust MCP connection. Your room dimensions and desk layouts are never stored or used to train public models.
