How to Use the Eurostat Discovery — Dataset Catalog Explorer MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How can my agent reliably get data using Eurostat Discovery — Dataset Catalog Explorer and Mastra AI?

Design a multi-step workflow. Use searchdatasets to find the code, getdatasetmetadata to confirm the structure, and then getdataset to pull the data. Mastra AI's engine lets you add retries to each step.

Q: What happens if a Eurostat dataset code changes?

Your workflow can handle it. If getdataset fails for a known code, you can trigger a call to searchdatasets with relevant keywords to find the new code and update your process.

Q: Can I approve a data pull before my Mastra AI agent executes it?

Yes. You can use Mastra AI's requireToolApproval feature. Your agent will find the data and prepare the getdataset call, but wait for your confirmation before pulling the numbers.

Q: How does Eurostat Discovery — Dataset Catalog Explorer integrate with a Mastra AI workflow?

You add the Vinkius MCP URL to your MCPClient configuration. Mastra AI lists the three tools (searchdatasets, getdatasetmetadata, getdataset), making them available as actions for your agents.

Automate Dataset Discovery

Your workflow can start with a simple keyword search using the `search_datasets` tool. It finds the official codes for any of Eurostat's 7,000+ datasets, handling the first step of any data-gathering process automatically. From there, your agent can use `get_dataset_metadata` to validate the dataset's structure. It checks the available dimensions and filter options before committing to a full data pull, which prevents errors and wasted cycles.

Build Failsafe Query Logic with this MCP Server

The core of your workflow will be the `get_dataset` tool. You feed it a dataset code and precise filters to pull just the statistical data you need. It's designed for programmatic, non-interactive use. Since this is Mastra AI, you can wrap these calls in your workflow's logic. If a `get_dataset` call fails because an ID is outdated, your agent can automatically fall back to `search_datasets` to find the new one and retry. That's how you build a process that doesn't break.

Chain EU Data into Other Systems

This isn't just about getting data; it's about what you do with it next. A Mastra AI agent can pull inflation data with `get_dataset`, then pass the results to another tool that updates a database or sends a Slack alert. The Eurostat tools become reliable building blocks in a much larger automated process. Your Vinkius MCP server handles the connection, so you just focus on the workflow logic.

Setup guide

Set up Eurostat Discovery — Dataset Catalog Explorer 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 Eurostat Discovery — Dataset Catalog Explorer 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: "eurostat-discovery-dataset-catalog-explorer-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "eurostat-discovery-dataset-catalog-explorer-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Eurostat Discovery — Dataset Catalog Explorer Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Eurostat Discovery — Dataset Catalog Explorer tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Eurostat Discovery — Dataset Catalog Explorer transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
