Perplexity

Resilient order workflows in Mastra AI

Create complex order chains that include automatic retries if a request fails. Your Mastra AI agent uses `create_logistics_order` to place shipments while monitoring for network timeouts. This ensures your orders actually reach the warehouse. It handles the edge cases that crash manual scripts.

Inventory-aware routing for Mastra AI

Build conditional logic that checks stock before confirming an order. Your workflow queries `list_inventory` and `get_warehouse_network` to decide where to route the shipment. This prevents overselling items that aren't in stock. It makes your fulfillment process smarter than a static database query.

Inbound shipment monitoring in Mastra AI

Track incoming cargo by integrating `list_inbounds` into your autonomous agent. Your Mastra AI logic parses the status and triggers alerts if a delivery misses a window. This keeps your warehouse team ahead of incoming volume. It turns raw shipping data into actionable status updates.

Setup guide

Set up Flexport Logistics 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 Flexport Logistics 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: "flexport-logistics-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "flexport-logistics-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

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