Perplexity

Automated labor analysis in Mastra AI

Create agent workflows that trigger based on unemployment shifts. Use the `query_bls` tool to pull specific state data, then let your agents decide the next step. If the data shows a spike, the workflow engine handles the alert. It's built for multi-step logic that needs to be reliable.

Conditional data fetching for your agents

Set up your agents to request different BLS series based on previous findings. The `query_bls` tool provides the raw numbers your Mastra AI agents need to reason effectively. Branch your logic automatically. If one query returns empty, the workflow retries with a different series ID without manual intervention.

Deployable labor statistics for agents

Move your agent logic to production with one command. This MCP Server integrates with your Mastra AI workflow engine, ensuring your agents have constant access to accurate labor stats. Configure tool approvals to keep a human in the loop. You control exactly when the agent calls `query_bls` to fetch new data.
