How to Use the Bold MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I process a Bold payment using Vercel AI SDK?

You pass the payment details to the createonlinepayment tool within your streamText call. The Vercel AI SDK will then execute the charge against the Bold API.

Q: Can I list my Bold terminals in Vercel AI SDK?

Absolutely. Use the listterminals tool to pull your device list into your Vercel AI SDK app. It shows you serial numbers and connectivity status in real-time.

Stream Bold payment data directly into your Vercel AI SDK frontends for real-time transaction tracking.

Setup guide

Set up Bold 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 Bold 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 Bold transactions",
});

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