How to Use the Better Stack MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can Vercel AI SDK manage on-call schedules in Better Stack?

You can read the schedules by executing listoncall. The agent pulls the active calendar data so you can display who is currently carrying the pager in your application.

Stream live incident data straight to your React frontend. Vercel AI SDK and this MCP Server let you build real-time dashboards fast.

Live Timeline Streaming with Vercel AI SDK

Streaming the exact response from `get_incident` into your Next.js app stops users from staring at loading spinners during an outage. Hook this MCP Server up to your frontend, and the text appears on screen exactly as the data arrives from the endpoint. Building custom internal dashboards used to require writing custom polling logic. Now you just pass the tools from your client configuration into the streaming function. Your frontend automatically renders the active incident state without breaking a sweat.

Control Monitors from the Frontend

Executing `acknowledge_incident` directly from your custom portal saves time during a crisis. You wire the tool to a server action, and the SDK handles the execution. The user clicks, and the alert stops paging the on-call engineer immediately. Resolving issues works the exact same way. Call `resolve_incident` through the client, and the state updates instantly. You get full control over your uptime infrastructure without ever leaving your custom React application.

Render Public Status Pages Instantly

Fetching the current state with `list_status_pages` lets you display live uptime data natively in your own marketing site. Your customers want to know if systems are down right now. Vercel AI SDK streams the payload so the page loads incredibly fast. Pulling specific uptime metrics is just as easy. You trigger `get_monitor` in the background, and the edge function processes the result. That means your Vue or Svelte frontend always shows accurate, up-to-the-second reliability data.

Setup guide

Set up Better Stack 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 Better Stack 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 Better Stack transactions",
});

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

Common questions about Better Stack MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Install the required MCP packages and initialize the client with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Pass the returned tools into your generation function. Always close the connection when the request finishes.

Yes. The SDK natively supports streaming tool results directly to the frontend. Your users will see the incident details appear in real-time as the MCP Server fetches them.

You trigger a background job that calls the incident listing tool through the client. The agent reads the response and updates your dashboard UI automatically.

You can read the schedules by executing `list_on_call`. The agent pulls the active calendar data so you can display who is currently carrying the pager in your application.

Vinkius isolates every request inside an ephemeral V8 sandbox. Your incident timelines and monitor configurations never leak between sessions. The zero-trust architecture destroys the environment the second your connection drops.
