Connect Mastra AI to Gist MCP. List all your public and private gists, show comments for gist with id abc123, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.
GistGitHub Gist is a service for sharing code snippets and notes. It makes it easy to collaborate and organize your code or text, publicly or privately.
This guide walks you through connecting Gist to Mastra AI using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Gist agent that can create and update gists, fork and star snippets, comment on gists, and browse revision history through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Mastra AI agent real control over a Gist account through Composio's Gist MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.
Mastra AI is a TypeScript framework for building AI agents with tool support. It provides a clean API for creating agents that can use external services through MCP.
Key features include:
The Gist MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your GitHub Gist account. It provides structured and secure access to your gists, so your agent can create, manage, comment on, and organize code snippets and notes on your behalf.
Composio's Composio SDK helps agents find the right tools for a task at runtime. You can plug in multiple toolkits (like Gmail, HubSpot, and GitHub), and the agent will identify the relevant app and action to complete multi-step workflows. This can reduce token usage and improve the reliability of tool calls. Read more here: Getting started with Composio SDK
The tool router generates a secure MCP URL that your agents can access to perform actions.
The Composio SDK follows a three-phase workflow:
npm install @composio/core @mastra/core @mastra/mcp @ai-sdk/openai dotenvInstall the required packages.
What's happening:
@composio/core is the Composio SDK for creating MCP sessions@mastra/core provides the Agent class@mastra/mcp is Mastra's MCP client@ai-sdk/openai is the model wrapper for OpenAIdotenv loads environment variables from .envCOMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your_user_id_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_hereCreate a .env file in your project root.
