Resilient Job Search Workflows for Mastra AI

You can build a workflow that first uses `ziprecruiter_search_jobs` to get initial candidates. If the search fails due to rate limits, the MCP automatically retries with exponential backoff. This means your entire job-finding process won't crash over minor API hiccups. The Mastra AI framework makes sure the whole operation completes reliably.

Automated Job Search and Validation

The MCP allows you to sequence actions: first, use `ziprecruiter_search_jobs` for a broad search; then, pass those results into another step that validates the salary ranges. It's multi-stage automation. It’s designed for complex operations where one job finding task depends on the success of the previous steps. You get full control over the workflow execution.

Human Oversight on ZipRecruiter Results

Need a human to check if the initial search results are good before sending them? Mastra AI supports `requireToolApproval`. The agent stops after calling `ziprecruiter_search_jobs`, waiting for your sign-off. You can build sophisticated pipelines that pause, wait for review, and only proceed when you give the go-ahead.

Setup guide

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

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

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