How to Use the BigOven MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can Vercel AI SDK handle BigOven images?

Yes, use getrecipephotos to return image URLs. You can then render these strings in your standard image components.

Q: How do I filter results using this MCP Server?

Call listcategories first to get valid filters. Then pass those into your search functions to narrow down the recipe list.

Stream BigOven recipe data directly into your Vercel AI SDK frontends for real-time cooking results.

Live recipe discovery in Vercel AI SDK

Feed your UI with live data using `search_recipes` or `search_by_ingredient`. Your users see dishes appear instantly as the model processes their request. Stop waiting for spinners. The Vercel AI SDK handles the stream so your React components render the results the second they hit the wire.

Fetch recipe details without leaving your app

Use `get_recipe` to pull exact instructions, ingredients, and cook times. Your app stays focused on the user instead of jumping to external sites. Keep them in your environment. Detailed data streams right into your state management, keeping the experience tight and responsive.

Browse curated collections via MCP Server

Expose `list_collections` and `get_collection` to let users browse seasonal menus. Your AI client manages the navigation while the server does the heavy lifting. This MCP Server provides the raw data structures needed for your frontend. You map the response fields directly to your custom UI components.

Setup guide

Set up BigOven 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 BigOven 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 BigOven transactions",
});

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