How to Use the Lyko MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How does Mastra AI manage human-in-the-loop approvals for Lyko ticket purchases?

You configure the booktrip step with the requireToolApproval flag in your Mastra AI workflow definition. This pauses execution and waits for a manual confirmation before the server charges the user's card.

Perplexity

Automated disruption management in Mastra AI

`get_network_status` monitors active delays and line closures, feeding real-time alerts into your Mastra AI workflow engine. When a strike or weather event blocks a route, the workflow triggers conditional logic to reroute passengers instantly. The Mastra engine catches Lyko API timeouts and automatically retries the query using exponential backoff. This ensures your transit monitoring agents stay online even when regional operator systems experience heavy load.

Multi-step booking pipelines with human approval

`book_trip` connects your automated travel workflows directly to European transit reservation systems. Mastra AI manages the state machine, pausing the workflow to request human approval before executing the final ticket purchase. Once approved, the Mastra AI workflow resumes, books the seat, and passes the QR code to your notification step. If the booking fails, the engine executes fallback paths to secure alternative seats on a different operator.

Multi-operator transit network discovery

`get_operators` lists regional transit providers across Europe, allowing your Mastra AI agents to dynamically scope their queries. Your workflow queries this tool to identify which local systems operate in a specific coordinate range. The agent then feeds those operator IDs into `get_transit_feed` to pull raw schedule metadata. By chaining these tools, your pipeline dynamically adapts its search parameters using the MCP Server.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Lyko MCP in Mastra AI

Initialize the MCP client in your Mastra config using the SSE or HTTP transport URL. Once connected, call `mcpClient.listTools()` and spread the resulting tool definitions directly into your Mastra AI Agent's tool array.

Yes, Mastra's workflow engine uses built-in retry logic and conditional branching. If `book_trip` returns an error, your Mastra AI workflow can catch the exception and immediately trigger a fallback route search.

You configure the `book_trip` step with the `requireToolApproval` flag in your Mastra AI workflow definition. This pauses execution and waits for a manual confirmation before the server charges the user's card.

Absolutely, you can trigger Mastra AI workflows on a cron schedule. The workflow calls `get_departures` and `get_network_status` every five minutes to detect delays and notify commuters before they leave.

No passenger data or transit coordinates are retained on the Vinkius platform. The MCP Server acts as an ephemeral proxy, passing your location data and booking details directly to European transit operators over encrypted connections.
