Real-time player monitoring in Vercel AI SDK

Your React components receive live data updates when you trigger the `get_player` tool. This skips the typical lag of waiting for a backend response before showing signage health. Building dashboards becomes trivial because the data flows straight into your `streamText` calls. You'll see the player status populate the UI as the AI processes the request.

Manage your media library with Vercel AI SDK

Call `list_medias` to pull your entire file catalog into your application state without writing custom API handlers. The results map directly to your frontend components for immediate rendering. Your users gain the ability to browse and select content files while the AI manages the underlying data fetch. It keeps your code clean and your interface responsive.

Full signage control via Vercel AI SDK

Use `list_players` and `list_templates` to map out your entire display network inside your application. These tools return the necessary IDs and configurations for your frontend to build interactive menus. Everything happens over a standard HTTP transport. You get consistent data structures back from the MCP Server every time you execute a command.

Setup guide

Set up 4YouSee MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
ai + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies

Run npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdk plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Create the Streamable HTTP transport

Use StreamableHTTPClientTransport with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and use tools

Call mcpClient.tools() to auto-discover all 4YouSee tools. Pass them directly to generateText() or streamText() — no manual schema definitions needed.
4

Works with any model provider

Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK provider — Anthropic, Google, Mistral. The MCP tools work identically across all supported models.

index.ts

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
);

const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport });
const tools = await mcpClient.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  tools,
  prompt: "List recent 4YouSee transactions",
});

console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();

Common questions about 4YouSee MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Install the MCP client package and initialize it with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Pass the tools retrieved from the server directly into your generateText functions.

Yes, it runs on the edge without issues. You just need to configure your transport correctly to handle the HTTP requests.

You can use the monitoring tools to pull specific player data for your AI agent to analyze. It won't search raw logs but gives you the current status snapshot.

You only need to provide an endpoint token. The SDK handles the rest of the handshake.

Your signage player names and media file metadata are the only items exposed. We use ephemeral connections that terminate once the request cycle finishes.
