If the originating run has already ended or the signal can't be delivered (for example, because the task resumed on another process), Mastra preserves the authoritative result without recreating the run or retrying the notification. Foreground calls never emit background work notifications because there is no detached work to report.

+ # Connect your MCP client to Mastra
6
+
7
+ The proposed launcher would connect an external [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://mastra.ai/docs/connections/mcp) client to your running Mastra API. Your client would start one local process and communicate with it through standard input and output (stdio). That process would forward tool calls to Mastra over HTTP. You wouldn't need to host a separate MCP service.
8
+
9
+ One launcher would expose the supported subset of the 60 tools listed below. You wouldn't configure a separate process for each agent, workflow, or tool.
10
+
11
+ ## Start your Mastra API
12
+
13
+ You need an existing Mastra project and Node.js with `npx` available. In your project directory, start the development server with the existing command:
14
+
15
+ **npm**:
16
+
17
+ ```bash
18
+ npx mastra dev
19
+ ```
20
+
21
+ **pnpm**:
22
+
23
+ ```bash
24
+ pnpm dlx mastra dev
25
+ ```
26
+
27
+ **Yarn**:
28
+
29
+ ```bash
30
+ yarn dlx mastra dev
31
+ ```
32
+
33
+ **Bun**:
34
+
35
+ ```bash
36
+ bun x mastra dev
37
+ ```
38
+
39
+ Keep that terminal process running. The proposed configuration below assumes the default API port, `4111`. The API must stay running for the MCP client to connect, but you can close the Studio browser tab.
40
+
41
+ ## Proposed client configuration
42
+
43
+ This configuration is for review only. It won't work until the launcher is implemented.
44
+
45
+ In a client that accepts an `mcpServers` configuration, the proposed stdio entry would be:
46
+
47
+ ```json
48
+ {
49
+ "mcpServers": {
50
+ "mastra": {
51
+ "command": "npx",
52
+ "args": ["-y", "mastra", "mcp", "--url", "http://localhost:4111"]
53
+ }
54
+ }
55
+ }
56
+ ```
57
+
58
+ The client would launch the command itself. The `--url` value would point to the Mastra server base URL, not a Studio page or an MCP endpoint. Configuration locations vary by client. Use your client's instructions for adding a local stdio server.
59
+
60
+ Here, `localhost` refers to the machine running the launcher. A client running in a container or on another machine would need a URL that can reach your Mastra API from that environment.
61
+
62
+ ### Proposed optional authentication
63
+
64
+ For an API protected by bearer-token authentication, the proposed launcher would read `MASTRA_API_TOKEN` from its environment. A client entry could include an `env` object alongside `command` and `args`:
65
+
66
+ ```json
67
+ {
68
+ "mcpServers": {
69
+ "mastra": {
70
+ "command": "npx",
71
+ "args": ["-y", "mastra", "mcp", "--url", "http://localhost:4111"],
72
+ "env": {
73
+ "MASTRA_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
74
+ }
75
+ }
76
+ }
77
+ }
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ This environment-variable behavior isn't implemented in a launcher. The existing programmatic API accepts authentication through its `headers` option. Keep real tokens out of version control and shared configuration. Omit the proposed `env` entry for an API that doesn't require authentication.
81
+
82
+ ## Tool discovery and permissions
83
+
84
+ The implemented API bridge reads the target server's API schema at startup and registers matching operations from its generated catalog. The proposed launcher would use this bridge, so the available tools would depend on the target server. The catalog covers API-prefixed Mastra routes, not Factory or platform commands outside that scope.
85
+
86
+ Once a launcher is implemented, the first verification would be to open the client's tool list and call `agent_list`. An empty agent list can be valid if the project has no agents. A missing tool is different: its route might not be supported by the target API.
87
+
88
+ Review client approvals before allowing tool calls. Some tools create, update, or delete data; agent, workflow, experiment, and tool execution can also have external effects. The current bridge marks all non-GET operations as potentially destructive. MCP annotations are hints, not authorization checks. The target API must enforce access permissions.
89
+
90
+ ## Full tool catalog
91
+
92
+ These are all 60 tools in the generated Mastra API operations catalog, grouped by function. This is the catalog inventory, not a promise that every target server exposes every tool. Inputs come from the target server's route schemas.

205
+ | The client can't find `npx` | Check that Node.js and `npx` are available in the environment used by the client, which may differ from your terminal. |
206
+ | The API connection is refused | Keep `npx mastra dev` running. Check the server's actual port and network access from the process running the client. An open browser tab isn't sufficient. |
207
+ | The API returns `401` or `403` | Check the API's authentication requirements and token permissions. The proposed launcher token variable isn't a replacement for configuring authentication on the server. |
208
+ | Schema discovery fails | The target must support `GET /api/system/api-schema` with a valid version-1 manifest. Check server compatibility and access to that route. |
209
+ | Fewer than 60 tools are listed | Only catalog operations with matching target API routes are registered. The catalog excludes Factory and platform routes. |
210
+ | A tool call fails input validation | Use the tool schema returned by the target server. Execution tools require the underlying tool input in `data`. |
211
+ | A call times out | Check API logs and operation status before retrying. A timed-out mutation may already have changed data. |

For long-running conversations, Mastra recommends [Observational Memory](https://mastra.ai/docs/memory/observational-memory), which keeps recent conversation available and turns older history into a dense observation log while keeping the prompt prefix stable for caching.

+ ## Cross-agent connections in Mastra Code
322
+
323
+ Cross-agent communication is experimental and off by default. Enable it in Mastra Code with the `/settings` toggle "Experimental cross-agent communication" and restart. Embedded clients can set `crossAgentSignals: true` when calling `createMastraCode()`. The setting enables thread ownership advertisements and peer discovery. It also makes the agent connection tools available. It doesn't affect the pub/sub transport itself.
324
+
325
+ ```typescript
326
+ import { createMastraCode } from 'mastracode'
327
+
328
+ const mastraCode = await createMastraCode({
329
+ crossAgentSignals: true,
330
+ })
331
+ ```
332
+
333
+ Mastra Code can use notification signals to communicate between agent threads. A peer is an exact `{ agentId, resourceId, threadId }` endpoint. Discovery is a point-in-time advertisement that the exact endpoint is available now. It isn't a durable connection or a guarantee that delivery will succeed.
334
+
335
+ `agent_connections_list` returns one `peers` collection. Each peer includes:
336
+
337
+ - `relationship`: `none` or `saved`. This is the authoritative durable state for the current sender thread.
338
+ - `presence`: `advertised` or `absent`. This reflects the current discovery pass.
339
+ - `displayStatus`: A derived, presentational value: `discovered`, `connected`, or `saved`.
340
+ - `canAttemptSend`: `true` only when the peer is both saved and currently advertised.
341
+
342
+ The displayed statuses mean:
343
+
344
+ | Status | Meaning | Can attempt a send? |
345
+ | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
346
+ | `[discovered]` | Advertised now, but not saved by the current sender thread. | No |
347
+ | `[connected]` | Saved by the current sender thread and advertised now. | Yes |
348
+ | `[saved]` | Saved by the current sender thread, but not advertised now. | No |
349
+
350
+ Use the connection tools for distinct operations:
351
+
352
+ - `agent_connect` saves a freshly discovered exact peer in the current sender thread.
353
+ - `agent_disconnect` removes a saved peer from the current sender thread. The peer doesn't need to be currently advertised, and repeated disconnects are safe.
354
+ - `agent_signal_send` requires the exact peer to remain saved and freshly advertised at send time. A previously discovered or recently seen peer that's absent from the current discovery pass isn't sendable.
355
+
356
+ Saved connections remain in the sender thread until explicitly disconnected. Every send independently refreshes discovery and verifies the exact endpoint before routing begins. A saved connection therefore records collaboration intent. It doesn't indicate current presence.
357
+
358
+ After a send attempt reaches Core routing, the routing result is authoritative. The result can be `wake`, `deliver`, `persist`, `blocked`, or `discard`, depending on the target thread and notification policy. A send that isn't acknowledged by the advertised thread owner returns an error and doesn't consume its `messageId`, so the sender can retry it.

244
+
245
+ By default, subagent results reach the parent agent as tool results, which are stripped from the context forwarded to later subagents. The parent agent must restate an earlier result in the next delegation prompt, which costs tokens and loses detail.
246
+

+

+ delegation: {
252

255
+ ```
256
+
257
+ When enabled:
258
+
259
+ - Each successful, non-empty subagent result gets a reference ID such as `explorer-1`. The parent agent's model sees it as a `[ref: explorer-1]` line after the subagent's text.
260
+ - The delegation tools gain a `contextFromRefs` input. The parent agent can pass earlier IDs, either as strings (`["explorer-1"]`) or as objects with an optional label and note (`[{ ref: "explorer-1", as: "investigation", note: "bug location" }]`).
261
+ - The referenced text is inserted before the delegation prompt, each result in its own labeled block, exactly as the earlier subagent produced it. `onDelegationStart` and `messageFilter` receive the expanded prompt.
262
+ - If `onDelegationComplete` returns `resultText`, the replaced text is what later delegations receive.
263
+
264
+ References are held in memory for a single parent agent run and aren't persisted. Rejected, failed, empty, and background-task delegations don't receive a reference ID. Unknown IDs are skipped with a warning and the delegation continues.
265
+
266
+ Referenced text is output from another agent. Each block uses a fresh, unpredictable tag and tells the receiving subagent to treat the contents as data, but if subagents handle untrusted input, add your own checks in `onDelegationStart` or through processors.
