How to Use the Aviationstack MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I install the Aviationstack tool inside a Vercel AI SDK project?

Install @ai-sdk/mcp and the core SDK via npm. Then, configure the createMCPClient transport with your Vinkius endpoint and pass the tools directly into streamText.

Q: Can I stream live flight maps with Aviationstack and Vercel AI SDK?

Yes. The agent pulls live coordinates from listflights and feeds them to your UI. The Vercel AI SDK streams these coordinates as they arrive, letting you update maps dynamically.

Q: Is my flight search history safe when using Aviationstack with Vercel AI SDK?

Absolutely. Your queries to listairports and listflights run inside an isolated V8 sandbox on Vinkius. We do not store or log your flight search parameters or API keys.

Pipe live global flight data straight into your React components in real time using the Vercel AI SDK.

Live flight updates in Vercel AI SDK UI

The `list_flights` tool streams live coordinates and status updates directly to your Next.js app so users don't stare at loading spinners. Vercel AI SDK handles the raw JSON stream from the server and updates the DOM on the fly. You don't have to write custom polling endpoints or deal with messy state management.

Instant airport and route mapping

The `list_airports` and `list_routes` tools resolve airport codes and flight paths instantly for your travel dashboard. Because the SDK runs on the edge, these lookups execute near your users with minimal latency. The LLM processes the geographical coordinates and feeds them straight to your map components.

On-the-fly aircraft and tax calculation

The `list_airplanes` and `list_taxes` tools calculate real-world flight costs during an active chat session. Instead of hardcoding messy tax rules, you let the LLM inspect regional fees dynamically. The final pricing breakdown streams directly into your customer checkout UI.

Setup guide

Set up Aviationstack 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 Aviationstack 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 Aviationstack transactions",
});

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

Common questions about Aviationstack MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Install `@ai-sdk/mcp` and the core SDK via npm. Then, configure the `createMCPClient` transport with your Vinkius endpoint and pass the tools directly into `streamText`.

Yes. The agent pulls live coordinates from `list_flights` and feeds them to your UI. The Vercel AI SDK streams these coordinates as they arrive, letting you update maps dynamically.

You handle rate limits at the SDK configuration level or via Vinkius caching. If your agent spams `list_cities`, the SDK catches the HTTP errors and lets you handle retries gracefully in your edge functions.

No. Because Vinkius hosts the MCP Server, your Vercel AI SDK edge functions call our hosted endpoint directly. You don't need to spin up or maintain any server infrastructure.

Absolutely. Your queries to `list_airports` and `list_flights` run inside an isolated V8 sandbox on Vinkius. We do not store or log your flight search parameters or API keys.
