How to Use the Azure Cognitive Search MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Stream live Azure search queries directly into your React or Next.js UI using the Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Azure Cognitive Search MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Azure Cognitive Search to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Stream vector search results to your Vercel AI SDK app
`vector_search` performs KNN vector queries against Azure embedding profiles to feed raw coordinates directly to your Vercel AI SDK stream. Your Next.js frontend renders these matches instantly as they arrive from the edge. By bypassing heavy backend processing, this MCP Server lets you paint search results on the user's screen before the LLM even finishes its thought. You avoid the dreaded loading spinner entirely.
Fetch index documents without blocking the UI thread
`get_document` pulls a single document using its UUID key to resolve specific data points inside your Edge Functions. The Vercel AI SDK hooks this tool directly into `streamText` so users watch the document content load dynamically. This setup keeps your edge runtimes lightweight. You don't have to bundle heavy SDKs when this MCP Server handles the raw HTTP handshake to Azure on the fly.
Expose Azure Search index status in real-time
`list_indexers` exposes scheduled Azure Search indexers directly to your Vercel AI SDK client during live chat sessions. Your app can monitor data ingestion pipelines and report status changes as they happen. If an indexer stalls, your agent catches it using `list_indexes` and `list_skillsets` to diagnose mapping errors. This puts debugging power directly into your production chat interface.
Set up Azure Cognitive Search MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
-
ai+@modelcontextprotocol/sdkpackages - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install dependencies
Run
npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdkplus your preferred model provider (e.g.@ai-sdk/openai). - 2

Use
StreamableHTTPClientTransportwith 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 Azure Cognitive Search tools. Pass them directly togenerateText()orstreamText()— 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.
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 Azure Cognitive Search transactions",
});
console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close(); Independent Platform Disclaimer: Vinkius is an independent platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, verified by, or otherwise authorized by Azure Cognitive Search.
