Frequently asked questions
How do I search for SNAP retailers in a specific zip code?
You can use the search_retailers tool and provide a filter like Zip5 = '20001' in the where parameter. This will return all authorized retailers within that specific postal area.
Can I find retailers near my current GPS coordinates?
Yes! Use the search_retailers_by_location tool by providing your longitude and latitude. You can also specify a distance (default is 5 miles) to define the search radius.
Is there a limit to how many retailers I can retrieve at once?
By default, the tools return up to 100 records. You can adjust this using the resultRecordCount parameter, and use resultOffset to paginate through larger lists of retailers.
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.
