How to Use the AT&T Messaging MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I connect AT&T Messaging to Vercel AI SDK?

Install both ai and @ai-sdk/mcp. Initialize the MCP client with createMCPClient pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Pass mcpClient.tools() directly into your streamText call.

Q: Can Vercel AI SDK and AT&T Messaging handle inbound replies?

Yes. You can query getinboundmessages to pull recent customer replies. The SDK will stream the sender numbers and message bodies right into your frontend components.

Q: Does Vercel AI SDK support streaming AT&T Messaging statuses?

It does. When the MCP Server executes listmessages, timestamps and content snippets stream back. Your Next.js app renders the history table progressively.

Stream AT&T SMS and MMS delivery statuses directly into your Next.js apps using this MCP Server and Vercel AI SDK.

Build Live SMS Dashboards with Vercel AI SDK

You want your users to see message statuses right away. Waiting for a spinner while an API fetches delivery logs is a terrible experience. Hooking up this MCP Server lets you pull that data straight into your React frontend as it arrives. Call `get_message_status` through your generative UI components. The Vercel AI SDK streams those delivery receipts and error codes directly to the client. Your end user watches the dashboard update in real time instead of staring at a blank screen.

Trigger Bulk Campaigns from the Frontend

Marketing teams need a fast way to fire off alerts without leaving their admin panel. Hardcoding bulk SMS logic takes time you don't have. Give your application the ability to execute mass broadcasts right from the chat interface. Pass a list of numbers to `send_bulk_sms` and watch the job IDs stream back. If someone wants to send rich media, `send_mms` handles the image attachments. The user gets immediate confirmation that the batch went out.

Provision Shortcodes Instantly

Managing keywords usually requires logging into a clunky telecom portal. Your product shouldn't force users to jump between tabs. Bring that entire provisioning flow inside your own application. A user types a request for a new campaign keyword. Your agent runs `create_shortcode` and streams the activation timeline back to the UI. When the campaign ends, `delete_shortcode` cleans it up just as fast.

Setup guide

Set up AT&T Messaging 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 AT&T Messaging 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 AT&T Messaging transactions",
});

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

Vinkius handles the AT&T API credentials on the backend. You just provide your single endpoint token to the HTTP transport configuration. Your frontend code never touches the raw telecom keys.

Vinkius runs the MCP Server in an ephemeral V8 Isolate Sandbox. When your code reads E.164 numbers or message bodies, that data passes through a zero-trust tunnel. We do not store the phone numbers or the SMS content after the request finishes.
