How to Use the Beehiiv MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Build live Beehiiv dashboards in your Next.js app. Stream post stats and subscriber data directly into your UI components with the Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Beehiiv MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Beehiiv 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.
Manage Beehiiv Data in Real-Time
Stop making your users wait for a loading spinner. With the Vercel AI SDK, your app can call Beehiiv tools like `list_posts` or `list_subscriptions` and render results as they arrive. The data appears on screen immediately, creating a much faster and more interactive experience. This works for specific actions, too. Let users grab a single post's content with `get_post` or check a subscriber's status with `get_subscription`. You can even build a UI to sign up new users that calls `create_subscription` and confirms success on the same screen, all without a page refresh.
Stream Analytics with the Vercel AI SDK
Imagine a dashboard that pulls your Beehiiv stats. When a user hits refresh, you don't show a spinner. Instead, you use the Vercel AI SDK to call `get_post_stats`, and the numbers—views, clicks, open rates—populate the dashboard live as the data streams from the MCP Server. Combine post stats with metadata from `get_publication` and `list_publications`. This gives you a complete, real-time overview of your entire Beehiiv operation, rendered directly in your React or Svelte components. It's the right way to build data-rich frontends.
Surface Your Beehiiv Automations
Your Beehiiv setup has its own internal logic, and this MCP server lets you expose it. Use `list_segments` to build a custom UI that shows exactly who is in which audience segment. It's a great way to give your team visibility without them needing to log into Beehiiv. In the same way, the `list_automations` tool gives you a window into your email journeys. You can build an interface that lists all active automations, helping your team understand the entire marketing flow without ever leaving your app.
