Frequently asked questions
How can I check the attendance records for a specific class meeting?
You can use the get_meeting_attendance tool by providing the Course ID and Meeting ID. The agent will retrieve the full list of users and their current attendance status (e.g., Present, Absent).
Is it possible to see recent changes in student grades?
Yes, use the get_recent_grade_changes tool. It allows you to monitor updates in the gradebook, helping you stay informed about recent evaluations and adjustments.
Can I post a new announcement to my students through the AI?
Absolutely. Use the create_course_announcement tool. Just provide the Course ID, a title, and the body of your message, and the agent will publish it to the course immediately.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
