How to Use the Shipday MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How does mastra-ai handle Shipday order cancellations?

You map the workflow to use deleteorder. If the cancellation fails, the built-in exponential backoff retries the call automatically. You don't have to write complex retry logic yourself.

Q: What if I need to get details for a past Shipday job?

You use getorder with the order number. The workflow will retrieve the historical data and pass it through your subsequent steps, treating old orders just like active ones.

Build resilient Shipday workflows that automatically manage order fulfillment failures with mastra-ai.

Complex Order Lifecycle Management

An order doesn't just go from A to B. It goes through confirmation, assignment, and status updates—and sometimes things fail. With `mastra-ai`, you build a multi-step workflow: first, use `create_order` to log the job; then, if payment fails later, your system can retry or automatically call `update_order_status` to flag it for manual review.

Automated Driver Reassignment

If the primary driver assigned to a Shipday route gets pulled off-shift, you don't want your workflow to halt. You can build logic that checks `list_drivers` and then automatically calls `assign_driver` with the next available person. This pattern ensures continuity; it handles the failure gracefully by finding an alternative resource.

Verifying Shipment Statuses

Before committing to a final status, you need proof. You can build a workflow that first calls `get_order` for initial details and then uses `get_carrier_order` to verify the actual carrier progress. This two-step verification process builds confidence into your mission-critical business logic.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Shipday MCP in Mastra AI

You map the workflow to use `delete_order`. If the cancellation fails, the built-in exponential backoff retries the call automatically. You don't have to write complex retry logic yourself.

Absolutely. Your workflow can take an initial order, check for available drivers using `list_drivers`, and then automatically execute `assign_driver` in one sequence.

The framework handles network failure by default. You can configure it to retry the `get_tracking_progress` call multiple times before notifying an admin that the service is down.

You use `get_order` with the order number. The workflow will retrieve the historical data and pass it through your subsequent steps, treating old orders just like active ones.

This MCP Server touches sensitive operational records, including customer details and specific `orderNumber` information across the workflow lifecycle.
