Perplexity

Automated crime data pipelines with Mastra AI

Chain `get_national_estimates` into your workflow logic to trigger alerts based on specific thresholds. If a request fails, the framework handles the retry automatically. Your agents act on the data without manual intervention. It builds a repeatable process for tracking crime trends across different regions.

Conditional agency reporting for Mastra AI

Set up branches using `get_agency_summarized` to pull data for specific jurisdictions. If the data is missing, the workflow shifts to a backup query or notifies an admin. This ensures your reports stay accurate even when specific agencies have inconsistent reporting gaps. It handles the edge cases so you don't have to.

Human-in-the-loop crime data verification

Require approval before your agents finalize reports based on `get_nibrs_victim_demographics`. It keeps a human in control of the output generated by the tools. You define the rules, and the framework executes them. It balances autonomous data gathering with necessary oversight.

Setup guide

Set up FBI Crime Data 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 FBI Crime Data 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: "fbi-crime-data-explorer-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "fbi-crime-data-explorer-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent FBI Crime Data Explorer transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
