How to Use the LegiScan Legislation Lookup MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can I run LegiScan Legislation Lookup workflows on a cron schedule with Mastra AI?

Yes. You can trigger a Mastra AI workflow that calls getstatemasterlist daily. The built-in workflow engine manages the execution state and handles any network failures automatically.

Q: Can I set up conditional branching based on bill status?

Yes. You can write a step that calls getbilldetails and branches your workflow depending on whether the bill is in committee, passed, or vetoed, triggering different notification paths for each.

Q: Where are my legislative queries and Vinkius tokens stored?

All credentials and bill IDs processed by getbilldetails remain in memory within your local Mastra AI runtime. Vinkius handles the connection using ephemeral, zero-trust V8 sandboxes, ensuring your active tracking list is never persisted or exposed.

Build resilient legislative tracking workflows using Mastra AI and state-level bill data.

Perplexity

Build automated bill alerts with Mastra AI

The `search_bills` tool allows your Mastra AI agents to monitor state houses for specific regulatory shifts. You can set up workflows that run this tool on a schedule to identify new bills matching your compliance keywords. If a search returns new matches, Mastra’s workflow engine handles the downstream tasks like notifying your legal team. The framework's MCP runner ensures that temporary API rate limits don't disrupt your monitoring pipeline.

Track entire state agendas automatically

Use `get_state_master_list` to pull the complete legislative calendar for any state. Your Mastra AI workflow can parse this list, identify key dates, and branch into separate analysis paths based on which committees are meeting. If a state list fails to load, the framework automatically retries the request with exponential backoff. This prevents your background workers from crashing when state databases experience high traffic during active sessions.

Require human approval before parsing bills on this MCP Server

The `get_bill_details` tool retrieves deep-dive legislative history, which can be computationally expensive to process. Mastra AI lets you configure requireToolApproval so a human must approve the run before your agent parses massive PDF documents. This protects your API budget and ensures your agents only analyze high-priority bills. Once approved, the agent processes the bill details and outputs a structured summary ready for your database.

Setup guide

Set up LegiScan Legislation Lookup 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 LegiScan Legislation Lookup 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: "legiscan-legislation-lookup-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "legiscan-legislation-lookup-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

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

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent LegiScan Legislation Lookup transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
