Connect UK ONS Trade — International Trade & Business Activity MCP to Mastra AI
Create your Vinkius account to connect UK ONS Trade — International Trade & Business Activity to Mastra AI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Handling Multi-Step UK Trade Analysis
Mastra AI manages multi-step processes, like analyzing trade patterns. You can build a workflow that first calls `get_trade` to pull imports and exports for a country. The system then uses conditional logic—for instance, if the trade balance is low, it triggers a second check using `get_business_counts`.
Automating Business Activity Reporting
You can create an automated workflow to compile business reports. The agent calls `get_business_counts`, gathering enterprise and local unit data across multiple industries. The built-in retries ensure that if the IDBR endpoint is temporarily unavailable, your complex ONS report still completes successfully.
Compiling Economic Indicators with Mastra AI
This server lets you build workflows around experimental indicators. For example, a routine could first check `get_traffic_activity` and then compare that against historical trade data via `get_trade`. The workflow engine handles the sequence, ensuring all necessary components of your analysis run in order.
