How to Use the UniCourt MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I search for cases using UniCourt with Mastra AI?

Start by calling searchcases within a macro-workflow. Because the system handles failures, your agent can try multiple search parameters if the first attempt fails to yield results.

Q: Can I track updates for cases using UniCourt with Mastra AI?

Yes. You'll use trackcase within a robust workflow. The framework ensures that even if an update request times out, it will retry the check automatically.

Q: Does the UniCourt MCP Server support importing data into Mastra AI?

It does. Use importcase for high-priority records or importpacercase if the case lives outside of UniCourt's primary database, allowing your workflow to always have access to fresh court filings.

Q: How can I manage credentials for PACER using UniCourt with Mastra AI?

Manage accounts by calling updatepacercredential. This tool is built into the system, allowing your workflow engine to maintain secure access without manual intervention.

Perplexity

Handle Multi-Step Data Collection

Need to gather data across multiple sources? Build a flow that first calls `search_norm_party` for names, then uses that result in `get_case` to fetch details. If the case ID fails, the workflow can automatically retry using `get_case_update_status`.

Automate Document Ordering and Exports

The process is simple: first use `order_case_document` to request a specific document. Then, if needed, trigger a full data pull using `request_case_export`. Mastra AI manages the required waits and callbacks, like getting the file URL from `get_document_order_callback`.

Scheduled Monitoring of Records

Setting up recurring monitoring is easy. Use `track_norm_law_firm` to schedule source refreshes for a law firm over time. The agent handles the backoff and retries if the connection hiccups, ensuring your workflow eventually succeeds.

Setup guide

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

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

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