Connect BILL Spend & Expense MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect BILL Spend & Expense 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.
Live Spend Feeds via Vercel AI SDK
The `list_transactions` tool fetches the latest corporate card swipes directly from the BILL platform. Your React components render these transactions as they stream in, bypassing slow loading spinners entirely. Edge functions execute these requests in milliseconds. Users see their actual spend history the moment the AI client finishes parsing the feed.
Instant Budget Auditing
The `list_budgets` tool matches current team allocations against real-time balances in your BILL account. Your custom agent evaluates this data to flag overages instantly. By streaming the output using `streamText`, the interface displays budget charts that populate line-by-line. This keeps financial managers from staring at blank loading screens.
Card and Reimbursement Tracking
The `list_cards` and `list_reimbursements` tools expose active corporate cards and pending employee paybacks. This allows your frontend to display live ledger tables dynamically. Setting up this MCP Server requires just the `createMCPClient` function pointed at your secure endpoint. It handles the financial data transfer safely without exposing master API keys to the client browser.
