How to Use the Brandfolder MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I feed Brandfolder assets into a streaming Vercel AI SDK response?

You register this MCP Server using the createMCPClient method in your edge function. The SDK streams the tool outputs, like CDN links from listassetattachments, directly into your UI components in real-time.

Q: Can I use the Vercel AI SDK to delete assets in Brandfolder?

Yes, the wipemediaasset tool handles permanent deletions directly from your code. You pass this tool to streamText and let your agent handle the deletion when a user confirms the action.

Q: How does the Vercel AI SDK handle Brandfolder workspace organization?

Your agent uses listplatformorganizations to identify which workspace your API key accesses. It then allows users to switch contexts or target specific folders using the active UI state.

Q: What happens if an asset has hundreds of tags?

Your agent calls listassettags to fetch the exact structural tags attached to the asset. It filters these tags before sending them to your UI, keeping your payload lightweight.

Feed Brandfolder assets directly into your Vercel AI SDK frontend without making users wait for slow loading spinners.

Render live CDN assets with Vercel AI SDK

The `list_asset_attachments` tool pulls raw CDN delivery URLs and asset files directly into your streaming interface via the MCP. This means your app displays images or documents to users the exact millisecond the AI finds them. By feeding these direct links straight into your UI components, you bypass traditional loading state bottlenecks. Your Next.js edge functions stream the actual media references live, giving users immediate visual feedback as they search.

Instantly update asset metadata from the UI

The `patch_cms_asset` tool modifies metadata attributes for any digital asset stored in your Brandfolder workspace. Your application captures changes from user inputs and pushes those edits to the cloud instantly. Because this MCP Server integrates directly with your React or Svelte forms, you don't write complex API wrapper code. Your agent processes the form field values and executes the patch call in the background.

Search collections during active chat sessions

The `get_collection_assets` tool queries and retrieves specific digital files grouped inside your Brandfolder collections. This lets your user ask your agent to find specific campaign assets and see the matching files pop up in the chat window. You avoid rendering blank screens while waiting for a massive payload to download. The server returns structured asset lists that your streaming UI parses on the fly, keeping the conversational flow active.

Setup guide

Set up Brandfolder 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 Brandfolder 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 Brandfolder transactions",
});

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