How to Use the Ashby MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can my Vercel AI SDK app verify my Ashby account?

Yes, run the getaccountcheck tool during your initialization sequence. It confirms your credentials are valid before you start pulling heavy candidate data.

Q: Does the server support filtering jobs in Vercel AI SDK?

It does. You can pass status parameters directly to listjobs to isolate open roles from closed ones.

Q: How do I search Ashby candidates in Vercel AI SDK?

Pass the email or name into searchcandidates. The server returns the matching profile, allowing your agent to display specific applicant history.

Pull live Ashby recruiting data into your Vercel AI SDK frontends for real-time candidate updates.

Perplexity

Stream Ashby candidate data to Vercel AI SDK

Feed your UI directly from the Ashby API using `list_candidates` and `get_candidate_info`. The result streams into your React components without waiting for backend round-trips. Developers see candidate profiles pop up instantly. You avoid clunky loading states by binding these MCP server outputs to your frontend state.

Manage job pipelines in Vercel AI SDK

Use `list_jobs` and `search_jobs` to filter active openings based on user input. This keeps your career page or internal dashboard accurate. Your app hits the `get_job_info` tool whenever a user clicks a role. The data arrives ready for rendering, keeping the experience snappy.

Track applications via Vercel AI SDK

Call `list_applications` to pull current pipeline status into your dashboard. You can display specific applicant details by triggering `get_application_info` on demand. This makes your hiring portal feel responsive. The MCP server handles the heavy lifting while you focus on the UI.

Setup guide

Set up Ashby 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 Ashby 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 Ashby transactions",
});

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