Live Market Data in Vercel AI SDK

Feed `get_latest_stocks_quotes` or `get_latest_stocks_trades` results straight into your UI components using the Vercel AI SDK. Your users see price fluctuations as they happen without waiting for a backend refresh. This MCP Server pushes data through your existing streamText pipelines. You avoid the lag of traditional polling and keep your frontend responsive while your agent monitors the market.

Execute Alpaca Trading Orders from React

Trigger `create_order` directly from your frontend logic to handle user requests in a heartbeat. You map user intent to trade parameters and let the SDK handle the transport. Your application state stays synced with your brokerage account. The server returns execution details that you can render immediately to confirm the trade to the end user.

Manage Alpaca Trading Configurations

Adjust your account settings via `update_account_configs` or pull historical `get_stocks_bars` data for custom charting. You keep total control over the environment within your Next.js application. This integration handles the heavy lifting of authentication and data parsing. You focus on building a clean dashboard while the server manages the connection to your brokerage.

Setup guide

Set up Alpaca Trading 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 Alpaca Trading 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 Alpaca Trading transactions",
});

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