How to Use the 15Five MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Build live HR dashboards in Next.js by connecting Vercel AI SDK to 15Five data.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect 15Five MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect 15Five to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Stream 15Five check-ins to Vercel AI SDK
The `list_checkins` tool grabs recent employee performance reports and sentiment data straight from the 15Five MCP Server. Your Next.js app streams this context directly into the browser while the LLM drafts a summary. Users hate staring at loading spinners during heavy HR data pulls. Passing these tools into `streamText` means managers see the AI analyzing their team's weekly updates in real time.
Map out team structures fast
Calling `list_departments` alongside `list_users` gives your AI client instant access to the company hierarchy. It pulls active employee records and department IDs without writing custom API wrappers. You pass the `mcpClient.tools()` array directly to your prompt. The agent figures out who reports to whom and formats the results for your React frontend.
Build real-time High Five components
The `list_high_fives` tool pulls public recognition data across the organization. You can also let users trigger the `send_high_five` tool to praise colleagues directly from your custom UI. Firing off a quick kudos just requires an email address and a personal message. Always remember to call `mcpClient.close()` after the transaction finishes to keep your Edge Functions clean.
