Question: How to Stream Text from Mastra Workflows to AI SDK Frontend?
Context
I'm using Mastra workflows with AI SDK 5.0 on the frontend. My workflow contains agent steps that stream text, and I need that text to appear in the UI.Current Situation
- Frontend: UsinguseChat@ai-sdk/reacttext-delta- Backend: Fastify endpoint that streams a Mastra workflow
- Problem: Using
toAISdkFormat(workflowStream, { from: 'workflow' })data-workflowWhat I've Discovered
The workflow stream emitsworkflow-step-outputtoAISdkFormatfrom: 'workflow'I see that
workflowRoute()@mastra/ai-sdkMy Question
What's the recommended way to stream text content from Mastra workflow agent steps to an AI SDK frontend?Options I'm considering:
1. Manually transform the workflow stream to extract text from
workflow-step-output2. Use
workflowRoute()3. Change the workflow structure to return agent output directly
4. Something else I'm missing?
Is there a built-in Mastra utility for this, or is manual transformation the expected approach?
