Q: How do I get started with BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas and the Vercel AI SDK?

First, install the SDKs: npm install ai @ai-sdk/mcp. Then, use createMCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint URL. You can pass the tools from mcpClient.tools() directly into the generateText or streamText functions.

Q: What's the difference between getipca and getipca15 with the BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas tools for the Vercel AI SDK?

getipca retrieves the final, official monthly inflation number from Brazil's Central Bank. getipca15 is the advance reading, or preview, which is released mid-month and watched closely by the market as a signal for the final number.

Get Live Inflation Data in Your UI

This tool connects your AI client to Brazil's official inflation index, the IPCA. Your agent can call `get_ipca` for the latest official number or `get_ipca15` for the market-moving advance reading. Because you're using the Vercel AI SDK, this data doesn't just load—it streams directly into your React or Next.js components. Users see charts and numbers appearing in real-time, not a loading spinner. It’s perfect for building live financial dashboards.

Build Tools for Contract & Salary Indexing

Go beyond the headline inflation number. This MCP server gives your agent direct access to the indices that drive business contracts and salary negotiations in Brazil. Use `get_igpm` to fetch the index commonly used for adjusting rent and other long-term contracts. Call `get_inpc` to get the basis for minimum wage and union salary adjustments. You can build specialized calculators that give users instant, accurate answers based on Central Bank data.

Display Market Expectations in your Vercel AI SDK App

Show your users what the market thinks is coming next. The `get_expectativas_inflacao` tool pulls data from the Central Bank's Focus Survey, which polls financial institutions for their inflation forecasts. You can filter by IPCA, IGP-DI, or IGP-M and get the median, mean, min, and max expectations. It's the data you need to build forward-looking charts and analysis into your application.

Setup guide

Set up BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas 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 BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas 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 BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas transactions",
});

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

Common questions about BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas MCP in Vercel AI SDK

First, install the SDKs: `npm install ai @ai-sdk/mcp`. Then, use `createMCPClient` with your Vinkius endpoint URL. You can pass the tools from `mcpClient.tools()` directly into the `generateText` or `streamText` functions.

Yes. The Vercel AI SDK is designed for this. When your agent calls a tool like `get_ipca`, the results are streamed back, letting you populate your Next.js components live without waiting for the full response.

`get_ipca` retrieves the final, official monthly inflation number from Brazil's Central Bank. `get_ipca15` is the advance reading, or preview, which is released mid-month and watched closely by the market as a signal for the final number.

It's fast. The Vercel AI SDK and Vinkius MCP platform are built for low latency. Data streams into your UI as soon as the tool returns it, which is usually in milliseconds. The user experience is seeing the data appear instantly.

Yes, your connection is secure. This MCP server only provides access to public Brazilian economic indices; it doesn't handle any of your private user data. All requests run through Vinkius's ephemeral, sandboxed environment, and your auth token secures the connection.
