How to Use the Affinda MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Stream parsed invoices and resumes directly into your Next.js frontend with Vercel AI SDK and the Affinda MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Affinda MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Affinda 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.
Real-time Affinda extraction in AI SDK
The `create_document` tool kicks off synchronous document parsing directly inside your edge-compatible runtime. Your UI gets the structured JSON back instantly, letting you render parsed fields on the screen while the user watches. By using the Vercel AI SDK with this MCP Server, you don't make your users stare at a loading spinner. The application fetches the parsed resume or invoice data and streams it straight into your React state.
Dynamic workspace selection for UI components
The `list_workspaces` tool lets your Vercel AI SDK client fetch all active document containers on the fly. This means your UI can dynamically build dropdown menus for users to choose where their files go. Once selected, the agent uses `list_documents` to show a live feed of processed files. You get a clean, reactive dashboard built on top of your existing Next.js layout without writing custom API routes.
Instant parser matching using AI SDK tools
The `list_document_types` tool tells your Vercel AI SDK application exactly what models your account supports. If a user uploads an ID, the agent identifies the passport parser and routes the file correctly. Your frontend asks the MCP Server for the schema, gets the structure, and uses `get_document` to pull the final JSON. You get clean types and fast UI updates in one go.
