How to Use the Apache APISIX MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Does this support hot reloading Apache APISIX via Vercel AI SDK?

You can trigger reloadcontrolplugins at any time. It forces the gateway to pick up changes without needing a full restart of your infrastructure.

Stream real-time Apache APISIX gateway data directly into your Vercel AI SDK frontends for instant UI updates.

Manage routing live in Vercel AI SDK

Stop digging through dashboards to fix a broken path. You can now use `put_route` or `delete_route` inside your React components to push changes to your gateway instantly. Your users see the results as the AI streams the response. It removes the need for clunky loading states when you update an `upstream` or swap a plugin.

Monitor gateway health with TypeScript

Check exactly how your nodes are performing by calling `get_control_healthcheck` directly from your edge functions. You get the raw status of every node without leaving your codebase. This MCP Server provides the data you need to build custom status pages. Use `dump_control_upstreams` to verify your load balancing logic in real-time.

Automate consumer management

Handle your API keys and group permissions programmatically. Your agent can call `put_consumer` or `list_consumers` based on user sign-ups or subscription changes. It keeps your security logic in sync with your application state. No more manual entry errors when you need to provision a new client group.

Setup guide

Set up Apache APISIX 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 Apache APISIX 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 Apache APISIX transactions",
});

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

Common questions about Apache APISIX MCP in Vercel AI SDK

You hook the server into your project using the transport configuration. Once connected, your agent executes commands like `get_route` or `put_upstream` to keep your gateway config aligned with your app.

Yes, you catch errors directly in your stream handlers. If a call like `delete_ssl` fails, your agent sees the response and you can trigger a fallback or alert immediately.

The connection uses encrypted transport tokens provided by Vinkius. Your gateway configuration, including consumer lists and SSL certs, stays within your private memory space during the session.

You can trigger `reload_control_plugins` at any time. It forces the gateway to pick up changes without needing a full restart of your infrastructure.

Your changes persist on the gateway server itself. The session only acts as the interface for sending commands like `put_plugin_config` to the API.
