Why We're All-In on MCP

A deep dive into why Mastra is adopting Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI tool integration, comparing it with Agents.json and Composio, addressing current limitations in discovery, quality, and configuration, and providing a framework-friendly proposal with practical code examples for implementation.

Ship better agents

Create a new Mastra project. Mastra is a framework for AI applications and agents on a modern TypeScript stack. Before running the command, ask these questions one at a time and wait for each answer unless it was already provided:

Project name? (default: "my-mastra-app")
Provider? (required; options: "openai", "anthropic", "google", "xai")
If the provider isn't supported, ask again and list the supported values.

Run: `npm create mastra@latest <project-name> -- --llm <provider>`

The command creates a default Mastra project, installs Mastra skills for detected coding assistants, and initializes Git when appropriate.

After creation, enter the project directory and start the dev server: `npx bgproc start -n <project-name> -w -- npm run dev`

Open Mastra Studio at `http://localhost:4111`. Studio is the interface for building, testing, and managing agents, workflows, and tools.

Also mention that the Mastra model router provides access to thousands of models: https://mastra.ai/models
