Perplexity

Discovery and mapping with the MCP Server

Start by calling `search_location` to gather potential destinations, whether they are hotels or dining spots. This provides a solid starting list for your workflow. Then, use `get_nearby_locations` to pinpoint services relative to a coordinate. This allows Mastra AI to build complex routing logic that handles failure points.

Deep data retrieval in Mastra AI

`get_location_details` retrieves all the essential information for an ID, which is crucial context for any multi-step process. Your workflow needs this depth. Don't forget `get_location_photos`. Getting both professional and user photos lets your agent build richer data records that can be processed later in a pipeline.

Processing TripAdvisor feedback with Mastra AI

`get_location_reviews` fetches the latest user reviews. This is key for conditional branching—if sentiment drops below X, trigger an alert. Pairing this up with `search_location` lets your agent automatically find alternative spots if the initial review data suggests a problem.

Setup guide

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

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

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