server-adapters/express/README.md
Express server adapter for Mastra, enabling you to run Mastra with the Express framework.
npm install @mastra/express express
import express from 'express';
import { MastraServer } from '@mastra/express';
import { mastra } from './mastra';
const app = express();
const server = new MastraServer({ app, mastra });
await server.init();
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Server running on http://localhost:3000');
});
Add routes directly to the Express app with access to Mastra context:
// Routes added after init() have access to Mastra context
app.get('/health', (req, res) => {
const mastraInstance = res.locals.mastra;
const agents = Object.keys(mastraInstance.listAgents());
res.json({ status: 'ok', agents });
});
const server = new MastraServer({
app,
mastra,
prefix: '/api/v2', // Route prefix
openapiPath: '/openapi.json', // OpenAPI spec endpoint
bodyLimitOptions: {
maxSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024, // 10MB
onError: err => ({ error: 'Payload too large' }),
},
streamOptions: { redact: true }, // Redact sensitive data from streams
});
Access these in route handlers via res.locals:
