Perplexity

Conditional legislative research logic

Build workflows that automatically branch when `get_package_summary` identifies a specific bill type. If the summary matches your criteria, the agent proceeds to pull the full text. This prevents your agents from wasting cycles on irrelevant documents. You set the rules, and the workflow engine manages the execution flow.

Retry logic for GPO API stability

Mastra handles intermittent API issues by automatically retrying failed calls to `search_govinfo`. You don't have to write custom wrappers for temporary network blips. This makes your research pipeline more reliable. Your agents spend less time crashing and more time fetching legislative records.

Granular document metadata extraction

Chain `get_collection_details` with package listing tools to map out exactly what is in a new GPO upload. This is useful for keeping your agent's knowledge base updated. It ensures you always have the latest data. You define the interval, and the tool handles the retrieval.

Setup guide

Set up GovInfo (GPO Legislative Docs) 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 GovInfo (GPO Legislative Docs) 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: "govinfo-gpo-legislative-docs-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "govinfo-gpo-legislative-docs-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent GovInfo (GPO Legislative Docs) transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
