How to Use the Searchspring MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How would I create an alert if a product price drops using Mastra AI and Searchspring?

You'd create a workflow. Step 1: Use searchsku to get the current price. Step 2: Use Mastra's conditional logic to compare it to a previous price. If it's lower, trigger your alert action.

Q: How do I handle custom Searchspring parameters?

The searchcustom tool is for that. It's a direct pass-through for any specific Searchspring query parameters your workflow needs to use, giving you full access to the underlying API's power.

Automate Inventory Checks

Use Mastra AI's workflow engine to regularly check product status via this MCP server. Your agent can use `search_sku` to see if a specific item is still in the catalog. Mastra's built-in retry logic handles any temporary network blips. You can build a workflow that runs `search_filtered` to find all products with "stock:low" and then triggers another action. If the Searchspring API is down, Mastra AI can pause the workflow and alert an admin, all automatically.

Price Monitoring Agents

Set up a Mastra AI agent to monitor prices. Use the `search_price_range` tool to find products within a certain bracket or `search_sorted` to find the most expensive items in a category. The real power comes from Mastra's conditional logic. For example: IF `search_products` for "New Release Shoes" returns an item under $50, THEN trigger a notification workflow. You can build complex, stateful monitoring that runs continuously.

Generate Dynamic Catalog Reports with this MCP Server

This MCP Server lets your Mastra AI agent act as a data analyst. You can create a workflow that pulls data using `search_brand` and `search_category` to assemble a snapshot of the current catalog. The agent can paginate through large result sets with `search_pagination` to build a complete report. Since Mastra AI handles state, you can even combine results from multiple calls—like getting all products from 'Nike' and 'Adidas' and then filtering them in a subsequent step.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Searchspring MCP in Mastra AI

Yes, that's a core Mastra AI feature. When your agent uses a tool like `search_products`, Mastra can automatically retry with exponential backoff if the Searchspring MCP server is temporarily unavailable.

You'd create a workflow. Step 1: Use `search_sku` to get the current price. Step 2: Use Mastra's conditional logic to compare it to a previous price. If it's lower, trigger your alert action.

Absolutely. Schedule a recurring Mastra AI workflow that calls `search_category` and compares the results to a list from the previous run. This lets you detect new or removed products automatically.

The `search_custom` tool is for that. It's a direct pass-through for any specific Searchspring query parameters your workflow needs to use, giving you full access to the underlying API's power.

The server only ever touches public catalog information—product SKUs, descriptions, category names, and prices from Searchspring. Your Mastra AI agent's internal state and other workflow data are never exposed. Every request is isolated and stateless.
