Frequently asked questions
How can I find campgrounds in a specific state like Colorado?
You can use the list_facilities tool and provide 'CO' in the state parameter. You can also add a query like 'campground' to narrow down the results to camping facilities specifically.
Can I see photos of a specific recreation area before visiting?
Yes! Use the list_recarea_media tool with the specific recAreaId. It will return links to images and videos associated with that area in the RIDB database.
How do I find out which federal agency manages a park?
First, use get_facility or get_recarea to find the organization ID associated with the site. Then, use get_organization with that ID to see the full details of the managing agency.
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.
