Mastra

Mastra is a TypeScript framework for building AI-powered applications. It provides a unified

Mastra()

constructor that wires together agents, workflows, tools, memory, RAG, MCP, voice, evals, and observability. Projects scaffold via

npm create mastra@latest

and run with

mastra dev

(dev server + Studio UI at

localhost:4111

). Built on Hono, deployable to Node.js 22+, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, AWS, and Azure.

Mastra是一款用于构建AI驱动应用的TypeScript框架。它提供了统一的

Mastra()

构造函数，可将Agent、工作流、工具、内存、RAG、MCP、语音、评估和可观测性组件连接在一起。通过

npm create mastra@latest

初始化项目，并使用

mastra dev

启动（开发服务器+Studio UI在

localhost:4111

）。基于Hono构建，可部署至Node.js 22+、Bun、Deno、Cloudflare、Vercel、Netlify、AWS和Azure。

Basic initialization

基础初始化

typescript

import { Mastra } from '@mastra/core'
import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
import { createTool } from '@mastra/core/tool'
import { z } from 'zod'

const myAgent = new Agent({
  id: 'my-agent',
  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
  model: 'openai/gpt-4.1',
  tools: {},
})

export const mastra = new Mastra({
  agents: { myAgent },
})

Always access agents via
mastra.getAgent('myAgent')
- not direct imports. Direct imports bypass logger, telemetry, and registered resources.

typescript

import { Mastra } from '@mastra/core'
import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
import { createTool } from '@mastra/core/tool'
import { z } from 'zod'

const myAgent = new Agent({
  id: 'my-agent',
  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
  model: 'openai/gpt-4.1',
  tools: {},
})

export const mastra = new Mastra({
  agents: { myAgent },
})

请始终通过
mastra.getAgent('myAgent')
访问Agent，不要直接导入。直接导入会绕过日志、遥测和已注册资源的访问。

Core concepts

核心概念

Mastra instance - the central registry. Pass agents, workflows, tools, memory, MCP servers, and config to the

new Mastra({})

constructor. Everything registered here gets wired together (logging, telemetry, resource access).

Agents - LLM-powered entities created with

new Agent({})

. They take

instructions

, a

model

string (e.g.

'openai/gpt-4.1'

), and optional

tools

. Call

agent.generate()

for complete responses or

agent.stream()

for streaming. Both accept

maxSteps

(default 5) to cap tool-use loops.

Workflows - typed multi-step pipelines built with

createWorkflow()

and

createStep()

. Steps have Zod

inputSchema

outputSchema

. Chain with

.then()

, branch with

.branch()

, loop with

.dountil()

.dowhile()

, parallelize with

.parallel()

, iterate with

.foreach()

. Always call

.commit()

at the end.

Tools - typed functions via

createTool({ id, description, inputSchema, outputSchema, execute })

. The

description

field guides the LLM's tool selection.

Memory - four types: message history (recent messages), working memory (persistent user profile), observational memory (background summarization), and semantic recall (RAG over past conversations). Configure via

new Memory({})

MCP -

MCPClient

connects to external tool servers;

MCPServer

exposes Mastra tools/agents as an MCP endpoint. Use

listTools()

for static single-user setups,

listToolsets()

for dynamic multi-user scenarios.

Mastra实例 - 中央注册中心。将Agent、工作流、工具、内存、MCP服务器和配置传递给

new Mastra({})

构造函数。所有在此注册的组件都会被连接起来（日志、遥测、资源访问）。

Agent - 由

new Agent({})

创建的LLM驱动实体。它们接收

instructions

、

model

字符串（例如

'openai/gpt-4.1'

）以及可选的

tools

。调用

agent.generate()

获取完整响应，或调用

agent.stream()

获取流式响应。两者都接受

maxSteps

（默认5）来限制工具使用循环的次数。

工作流 - 使用

createWorkflow()

和

createStep()

构建的类型化多步骤管道。步骤包含Zod

inputSchema

outputSchema

。使用

.then()

链式调用，

.branch()

实现分支，

.dountil()

.dowhile()

实现循环，

.parallel()

实现并行，

.foreach()

实现迭代。最后必须调用

.commit()

。

工具 - 通过

createTool({ id, description, inputSchema, outputSchema, execute })

创建的类型化函数。

description

字段指导LLM选择工具。

内存 - 四种类型：消息历史（近期消息）、工作内存（持久化用户档案）、观察性内存（背景总结）和语义召回（基于过往对话的RAG）。通过

new Memory({})

配置。

MCP -

MCPClient

连接到外部工具服务器；

MCPServer

将Mastra工具/Agent暴露为MCP端点。静态单用户设置使用

listTools()

，动态多用户场景使用

listToolsets()

。

Common tasks

常见任务

Create an agent with tools

创建带工具的Agent

typescript

import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
import { createTool } from '@mastra/core/tool'
import { z } from 'zod'

const weatherTool = createTool({
  id: 'get-weather',
  description: 'Fetches current weather for a city',
  inputSchema: z.object({ city: z.string() }),
  outputSchema: z.object({ temp: z.number(), condition: z.string() }),
  execute: async ({ city }) => {
    const res = await fetch(`https://wttr.in/${city}?format=j1`)
    const data = await res.json()
    return { temp: Number(data.current_condition[0].temp_F), condition: data.current_condition[0].weatherDesc[0].value }
  },
})

const agent = new Agent({
  id: 'weather-agent',
  instructions: 'Help users check weather. Use the get-weather tool.',
  model: 'openai/gpt-4.1',
  tools: { [weatherTool.id]: weatherTool },
})

typescript

import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
import { createTool } from '@mastra/core/tool'
import { z } from 'zod'

const weatherTool = createTool({
  id: 'get-weather',
  description: 'Fetches current weather for a city',
  inputSchema: z.object({ city: z.string() }),
  outputSchema: z.object({ temp: z.number(), condition: z.string() }),
  execute: async ({ city }) => {
    const res = await fetch(`https://wttr.in/${city}?format=j1`)
    const data = await res.json()
    return { temp: Number(data.current_condition[0].temp_F), condition: data.current_condition[0].weatherDesc[0].value }
  },
})

const agent = new Agent({
  id: 'weather-agent',
  instructions: 'Help users check weather. Use the get-weather tool.',
  model: 'openai/gpt-4.1',
  tools: { [weatherTool.id]: weatherTool },
})

Stream agent responses

流式Agent响应

typescript

const stream = await agent.stream('What is the weather in Tokyo?')
for await (const chunk of stream.textStream) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk)
}

typescript

const stream = await agent.stream('What is the weather in Tokyo?')
for await (const chunk of stream.textStream) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk)
}

Define a workflow with steps

定义带步骤的工作流

typescript

import { createWorkflow, createStep } from '@mastra/core/workflow'
import { z } from 'zod'

const summarize = createStep({
  id: 'summarize',
  inputSchema: z.object({ text: z.string() }),
  outputSchema: z.object({ summary: z.string() }),
  execute: async ({ inputData, mastra }) => {
    const agent = mastra.getAgent('summarizer')
    const res = await agent.generate(`Summarize: ${inputData.text}`)
    return { summary: res.text }
  },
})

const workflow = createWorkflow({
  id: 'summarize-workflow',
  inputSchema: z.object({ text: z.string() }),
  outputSchema: z.object({ summary: z.string() }),
}).then(summarize).commit()  // .commit() is required!

const run = workflow.createRun()
const result = await run.start({ inputData: { text: 'Long article...' } })
if (result.status === 'success') console.log(result.result)

Always check
result.status
before accessing
result.result
or
result.error
. Possible statuses:
success
,
failed
,
suspended
,
tripwire
,
paused
.

typescript

import { createWorkflow, createStep } from '@mastra/core/workflow'
import { z } from 'zod'

const summarize = createStep({
  id: 'summarize',
  inputSchema: z.object({ text: z.string() }),
  outputSchema: z.object({ summary: z.string() }),
  execute: async ({ inputData, mastra }) => {
    const agent = mastra.getAgent('summarizer')
    const res = await agent.generate(`Summarize: ${inputData.text}`)
    return { summary: res.text }
  },
})

const workflow = createWorkflow({
  id: 'summarize-workflow',
  inputSchema: z.object({ text: z.string() }),
  outputSchema: z.object({ summary: z.string() }),
}).then(summarize).commit()  // .commit() 是必须的！

const run = workflow.createRun()
const result = await run.start({ inputData: { text: 'Long article...' } })
if (result.status === 'success') console.log(result.result)

访问
result.result
或
result.error
前请务必检查
result.status
。可能的状态：
success
、
failed
、
suspended
、
tripwire
、
paused
。

Configure agent memory

配置Agent内存

typescript

import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
import { LibSQLStore, LibSQLVector } from '@mastra/libsql'

const memory = new Memory({
  storage: new LibSQLStore({ id: 'mem', url: 'file:./local.db' }),
  vector: new LibSQLVector({ id: 'vec', url: 'file:./local.db' }),
  options: {
    lastMessages: 20,
    semanticRecall: { topK: 3, messageRange: 2 },
    workingMemory: { enabled: true, template: '# User\n- Name:\n- Preferences:' },
  },
})

const agent = new Agent({ id: 'mem-agent', model: 'openai/gpt-4.1', memory })

// Use with thread context
await agent.generate('Remember my name is Alice', {
  memory: { thread: { id: 'thread-1' }, resource: 'user-123' },
})

typescript

import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
import { LibSQLStore, LibSQLVector } from '@mastra/libsql'

const memory = new Memory({
  storage: new LibSQLStore({ id: 'mem', url: 'file:./local.db' }),
  vector: new LibSQLVector({ id: 'vec', url: 'file:./local.db' }),
  options: {
    lastMessages: 20,
    semanticRecall: { topK: 3, messageRange: 2 },
    workingMemory: { enabled: true, template: '# User\n- Name:\n- Preferences:' },
  },
})

const agent = new Agent({ id: 'mem-agent', model: 'openai/gpt-4.1', memory })

// 结合线程上下文使用
await agent.generate('Remember my name is Alice', {
  memory: { thread: { id: 'thread-1' }, resource: 'user-123' },
})

Connect to MCP servers

连接到MCP服务器

typescript

import { MCPClient } from '@mastra/mcp'

const mcp = new MCPClient({
  id: 'my-mcp',
  servers: {
    github: { command: 'npx', args: ['-y', '@modelcontextprotocol/server-github'] },
    custom: { url: new URL('https://my-mcp-server.com/sse') },
  },
})

const agent = new Agent({
  id: 'mcp-agent',
  model: 'openai/gpt-4.1',
  tools: await mcp.listTools(),  // static - fixed at init
})

// For multi-user (dynamic credentials per request):
const res = await agent.generate(prompt, {
  toolsets: await mcp.listToolsets(),
})
await mcp.disconnect()

typescript

import { MCPClient } from '@mastra/mcp'

const mcp = new MCPClient({
  id: 'my-mcp',
  servers: {
    github: { command: 'npx', args: ['-y', '@modelcontextprotocol/server-github'] },
    custom: { url: new URL('https://my-mcp-server.com/sse') },
  },
})

const agent = new Agent({
  id: 'mcp-agent',
  model: 'openai/gpt-4.1',
  tools: await mcp.listTools(),  // 静态 - 初始化时固定
})

// 多用户场景（每个请求使用动态凭证）：
const res = await agent.generate(prompt, {
  toolsets: await mcp.listToolsets(),
})
await mcp.disconnect()

Error handling

错误处理

Error	Cause	Resolution
Schema mismatch between steps	Step outputSchema doesn't match next step's inputSchema	Use `.map()` between steps to transform data
Workflow not committed	Forgot `.commit()` after chaining steps	Add `.commit()` as the final call on the workflow chain
`maxSteps` exceeded	Agent loops through tools beyond limit (default 5)	Increase `maxSteps` or improve tool descriptions to reduce loops
Memory scope mismatch	Using `resource` -scoped memory but not passing `resource` in generate	Always pass `memory: { thread, resource }` when using resource-scoped memory
MCP resource leak	Dynamic `listToolsets()` without `disconnect()`	Always call `mcp.disconnect()` after multi-user requests

错误	原因	解决方法
步骤间Schema不匹配	步骤的outputSchema与下一个步骤的inputSchema不匹配	在步骤间使用 `.map()` 转换数据
工作流未提交	链式步骤后忘记调用 `.commit()`	在工作流链的最后添加 `.commit()` 调用
超出 `maxSteps` 限制	Agent的工具使用循环超出限制（默认5次）	增大 `maxSteps` 或优化工具描述以减少循环
内存范围不匹配	使用了 `resource` 范围的内存但未在generate中传递 `resource`	当使用资源范围内存时，始终传递 `memory: { thread, resource }`
MCP资源泄漏	动态 `listToolsets()` 后未调用 `disconnect()`	多用户请求后始终调用 `mcp.disconnect()`

Gotchas

注意事项

Forgetting
.commit()
causes a silent no-op workflow - A workflow chain that is missing
```
.commit()
```
at the end will not throw an error when defined, but calling
```
workflow.createRun()
```
will either fail or produce unexpected behavior. Always end every workflow chain with
```
.commit()
```
as the final call.
Accessing agents directly (not via
mastra.getAgent()
) bypasses telemetry and logging - Importing and calling an agent instance directly skips the Mastra registry's wiring, meaning no trace data, no logger output, and no resource access via the registered Mastra instance. Always resolve agents through
```
mastra.getAgent('id')
```
in step execute functions.
mcp.listTools()
caches tools at initialization time - If the MCP server's available tools change after
```
MCPClient
```
initializes, the agent will not see the new tools until the process restarts. For dynamic multi-user scenarios where credentials or available tools differ per request, use
```
mcp.listToolsets()
```
per request instead of the static
```
listTools()
```
pattern.
Memory
resource
scope isolation can cause cross-user data leakage if resource IDs are not unique - If two users share the same
```
resource
```
ID (e.g., a static string like
```
"default"
```
), their working memory and semantic recall overlap. Always derive the resource ID from a unique identifier (user ID, session token) before passing it to
```
agent.generate()
```
.
Workflow step schema mismatches produce cryptic runtime errors - When a step's
```
outputSchema
```
does not match the next step's
```
inputSchema
```
, Mastra throws a Zod parse error at runtime, not at workflow definition time. Use
```
.map()
```
between steps to transform data shapes, and verify schema compatibility during development by running the workflow with a test payload before deploying.

忘记
.commit()
会导致工作流静默无操作 - 如果工作流链末尾缺少
```
.commit()
```
，定义时不会抛出错误，但调用
```
workflow.createRun()
```
会失败或产生意外行为。请始终在每个工作流链的最后调用
```
.commit()
```
。
直接访问Agent（而非通过
mastra.getAgent()
）会绕过遥测和日志 - 直接导入并调用Agent实例会跳过Mastra注册中心的连接，意味着没有跟踪数据、没有日志输出，也无法通过已注册的Mastra实例访问资源。在步骤执行函数中请始终通过
```
mastra.getAgent('id')
```
获取Agent。
mcp.listTools()
在初始化时缓存工具 - 如果MCP服务器的可用工具在
```
MCPClient
```
初始化后发生变化，Agent在进程重启前不会看到新工具。对于凭证或可用工具随请求变化的动态多用户场景，请在每个请求中使用
```
mcp.listToolsets()
```
而非静态的
```
listTools()
```
模式。
内存
resource
范围隔离不当会导致跨用户数据泄漏 - 如果两个用户共享同一个
```
resource
```
ID（例如静态字符串"default"），他们的工作内存和语义召回会重叠。在传递给
```
agent.generate()
```
前，请始终从唯一标识符（用户ID、会话令牌）派生资源ID。
工作流步骤Schema不匹配会产生模糊的运行时错误 - 当步骤的
```
outputSchema
```
与下一个步骤的
```
inputSchema
```
不匹配时，Mastra会在运行时抛出Zod解析错误，而非在工作流定义时。在步骤间使用
```
.map()
```
转换数据形状，并在开发阶段通过测试负载运行工作流来验证Schema兼容性，然后再部署。
