Mastra

Connect a Mastra agent to Civic using MCPClient with Streamable HTTP transport. Mastra's MCP client exposes all discovered tools directly to a Mastra Agent.

Prerequisites​

  • Node.js 20+
  • A Civic account at app.civic.com with a configured toolkit
  • A Civic token and an Anthropic API key

Installation​

pnpm add @mastra/mcp @mastra/core @ai-sdk/anthropic

Environment Variables​

CIVIC_URL=https://app.civic.com/hub/mcp?profile=your-toolkit
CIVIC_TOKEN=your-civic-token
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-anthropic-key

How to generate a Civic token and configure toolkit URL parameters

Connecting to Civic​

Use MCPClient with the servers config, then call listToolsets() to get all tools:

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

const civicMcp = new MCPClient({
  servers: {
    civic: {
      url: new URL(process.env.CIVIC_URL!),
      requestInit: {
        headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.CIVIC_TOKEN}` },
      },
    },
  },
});

// Use listToolsets() — not getTools()
const toolsets = await civicMcp.listToolsets();
const allTools = Object.values(toolsets).reduce(
  (acc, ts) => ({ ...acc, ...ts }),
  {}
);
console.log(`${Object.keys(allTools).length} tools loaded`);

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Civic Assistant",
  model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-6"),
  instructions: "You are a helpful assistant with access to Civic tools.",
  tools: allTools,
});
note

Use civicMcp.listToolsets() — not civicMcp.getTools(). Merge the returned toolsets object with Object.values(toolsets).reduce((acc, ts) => ({ ...acc, ...ts }), {}) before passing to the agent.

Running the Agent​

async function main() {
  const response = await agent.generate("What events do I have today?");
  console.log(response.text);
  await civicMcp.disconnect();
}

main();

Production Configuration​

For production agents, lock to a specific toolkit using the profile URL parameter:

CIVIC_URL=https://app.civic.com/hub/mcp?profile=your-production-toolkit
