How to Use the Betterfly MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I stream Betterfly data using Vercel AI SDK?

Install @ai-sdk/mcp and initialize it with createMCPClient. Pass the resulting tools into your streamText function. The agent will call the APIs and push the text right to your UI.

Q: How do I check an individual's synced activities?

Give your agent access to listactivities. It pulls the specific step counts or workout logs for that user. Then the SDK streams those numbers straight into your React components.

Stream corporate wellness metrics and ESG data directly into your React frontends using Vercel AI SDK.

Build live HR dashboards with Vercel AI SDK

Your Next.js app needs real-time wellness stats. Instead of building custom polling logic, connect this MCP Server to stream aggregate team data straight to the browser. Users watch their global step counts update instantly while the agent pulls from `get_company_metrics`. Building interactive company challenges takes minutes. You just pass `list_challenges` and `create_challenge` into your `streamText` call. The frontend renders the new activity targets as the LLM generates them.

Render dynamic employee benefits

Stop forcing employees to dig through static PDFs to find their coverage. Hook up a chat interface that checks `get_user` and `list_benefits` to answer specific questions about their perks. If someone asks about their specific health policy, the agent grabs the exact scope via `list_insurance`. The Vercel AI SDK pushes those details to your UI components without any loading spinners.

Track social impact live

ESG reporting usually means waiting for quarterly spreadsheets. Change that by letting your frontend query `get_impact_stats` on demand. When an employee wants to see where their engagement is going, the agent calls `list_donations`. They see the exact corporate social contributions rendered immediately in their dashboard.

Setup guide

Set up Betterfly 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 Betterfly 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 Betterfly transactions",
});

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

Common questions about Betterfly MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Install `@ai-sdk/mcp` and initialize it with `createMCPClient`. Pass the resulting tools into your `streamText` function. The agent will call the APIs and push the text right to your UI.

Yes, your frontend can handle manual bonuses. The agent uses the `assign_reward` tool when a manager approves an employee's achievement. Make sure you call `mcpClient.close()` after the transaction finishes.

It runs perfectly at the edge. The transport layer relies on standard HTTP connections, which means you avoid cold starts. Just configure the endpoint token and your client handles the rest.

Give your agent access to `list_activities`. It pulls the specific step counts or workout logs for that user. Then the SDK streams those numbers straight into your React components.

Vinkius runs this integration inside a V8 Isolate Sandbox. Your connection uses ephemeral tokens to access sensitive wellness details and insurance scopes. Zero trust means nothing gets stored after the session dies.
