How to Use the ArcGIS Alternative MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I add ArcGIS Alternative to a Mastra AI workflow?

Install @mastra/mcp@latest via npm. Create a new MCPClient instance pointing to your Vinkius URL, call listTools(), and spread the results into your agent's tool array.

Q: How does ArcGIS Alternative work with Mastra AI human-in-the-loop?

Set requireToolApproval to true in your configuration. The workflow pauses when it needs to run a spatial query, waits for an administrator to click approve, and then fetches the data.

Build resilient geographic workflows by hooking Mastra AI into this spatial data MCP Server.

Compute Routes with Mastra AI

`get_route` computes travel paths, distances, and times across different modes like driving or trucking. Mastra AI agents use this to build logistics chains that adapt when a specific stop becomes unreachable. You pass semicolon-separated coordinate pairs into the tool. If the routing request times out, your workflow engine automatically triggers an exponential backoff retry until the geometry returns.

Convert Coordinates with this MCP Server

`geocode_address` translates messy text inputs into clean latitude and longitude coordinates. The agent takes a raw string like "Eiffel Tower", extracts the exact location, and passes it to the next step in your pipeline. `reverse_geocode` flips the script to convert GPS points back into readable street addresses. When a delivery driver pings a location, your workflow fetches the nearest place name and logs it in your database.

Search Places and Check Elevation

`search_places` finds categories like gas stations or hotels within a specific meter radius of a target point. Your agent branches its logic based on whether it finds a match nearby. `get_elevation` grabs the height in meters for any given set of coordinates. You pipe this data into a terrain analysis function that alerts human reviewers if a planned route crosses steep gradients.

Setup guide

Set up ArcGIS Alternative MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All ArcGIS Alternative tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "arcgis-alternative-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "arcgis-alternative-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "ArcGIS Alternative Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to ArcGIS Alternative tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent ArcGIS Alternative transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);

Common questions about ArcGIS Alternative MCP in Mastra AI

Install `@mastra/mcp@latest` via npm. Create a new `MCPClient` instance pointing to your Vinkius URL, call `listTools()`, and spread the results into your agent's tool array.

The framework handles failures natively. You configure the workflow to catch routing errors and attempt another call with a different travel mode or updated coordinates.

Set `requireToolApproval` to true in your configuration. The workflow pauses when it needs to run a spatial query, waits for an administrator to click approve, and then fetches the data.

The system automatically detects whether to use Streamable HTTP or SSE. You just provide the endpoint URL and the client handles the connection protocol.

Every request executes within a zero-trust V8 sandbox. The specific address strings and POI categories you search for are wiped from memory immediately after the tool returns its payload.
