How to Use the vote.direct MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I handle sequential queries with vote.direct and Mastra AI?

Mastra AI is built for this. You define the sequence: run getupcomingelections, capture the list of elections, and then feed that list into a loop calling getballotinformation. The workflow engine manages all the state.

Q: What data types does the vote.direct MCP Server handle?

The server handles election information (e.g., getupcomingelections), polling locations, and voter registration deadlines for various states.

Automated Polling Location Auditing

The `get_polling_locations` tool allows you to build complex audit workflows. You can set up a sequence: first, check if the API is active using `check_api_status`, then loop through a list of addresses and run `get_polling_locations` for each one. Mastra AI handles the retries automatically if an endpoint fails, so your workflow doesn't just crash. It keeps running until all locations are checked.

Workflow-Driven Election Setup

Need to onboard a new election cycle? Use `get_upcoming_elections` in a multi-step process. You can define a workflow that first gets elections by ZIP code, then checks for required registration details using `get_registration_details`, all in one command. If the registration deadline is missing, your conditional branching triggers an admin notification—no manual intervention needed.

Handling Ballot Retrieval Failures

When dealing with sensitive data like ballots, failures are expected. Use `get_ballot_information` within a workflow that automatically retries the call if it fails. You can specify different methods or notify an admin on failure. This guarantees your multi-step process of gathering election details completes successfully.

Setup guide

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

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

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