Q: What kind of data is available for United Airlines' operational history using Mastra AI?

getflighthistory provides actual departure/arrival times, plus records of delays or cancellations. This lets you build reports on historical performance metrics.

Perplexity

Plan multi-step searches across the United Airlines network.

Need to know if a route exists and then check its schedule? Build a workflow: first use `get_route` to confirm connection availability between two IATA codes. Then, use `get_flights_by_status` or `get_future_flights` to pull the specific flight data for that path. This sequential logic is perfect for complex travel planning. You can automatically handle failures—if the route check fails, your workflow doesn't just crash; it notifies you and waits for new inputs.

Gather detailed United Airlines status reports.

Tracking a single flight? Start by calling `get_flight_status` with the flight number. This is reliable real-time data. For bulk operational checks, you can use `get_arrivals` or `get_departures`. Just give it an airport code and a date to get lists of all flights scheduled for that day. Mastra AI handles the complexity of fetching these structured results.

Research United Airlines historical performance data.

Analyzing past delays or cancellations is crucial. Use `get_flight_history` and provide a date in YYYY-MM-DD format to pull actual flight outcomes for any given trip. Want general carrier info? The `get_airline_info` tool gives basic metadata about United Airlines as a whole, perfect for verifying codes or standard carrier details at the start of your workflow.

Setup guide

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

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

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