How to Use the Bright Data MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Stream real-time Bright Data proxy metrics and Scraping Browser sessions straight to your Next.js frontend with the Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Bright Data MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Bright Data 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.
Stream Scraping Browser sessions to Vercel AI SDK
The `list_browser_sessions` tool exposes active Scraping Browser instances directly to your Next.js frontend. Your Vercel AI SDK agent fetches the active sessions, feeding them straight to `streamText` so your users watch the scraping pipeline run live. This setup avoids putting loading spinners in your Next.js app while waiting for proxy responses. Bright Data web scraping results stream into your React interface as they arrive, giving developers immediate feedback on active proxy connections.
Track dataset snapshot progress inside React
Tracking large-scale web scraping jobs becomes straightforward with the `get_dataset_progress` tool inside your Next.js UI. Your Vercel AI SDK agent triggers the collection with `trigger_dataset` and streams the exact crawl progress percentage to your users. Instead of polling a backend, the Vercel AI SDK handles the async state of your Bright Data crawl automatically. Users see the exact moment their dataset is ready, then your Vercel AI SDK agent pulls the file using `get_dataset_snapshot`.
Monitor Bright Data proxy zones in your Next.js app
Active proxy configurations pull directly into the Vercel AI SDK runtime via the `get_all_zones` tool. Your Vercel AI SDK agent inspects Bright Data zone health and retrieves credentials via `get_zone_passwords` to debug connection drops on the fly. Vercel Edge Function compatibility ensures these Bright Data proxy calls execute with sub-second latency. You get a live dashboard of your Bright Data proxy infrastructure without writing custom Next.js API routes.

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();

prompt: "List recent Bright Data transactions",
});
console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close(); Independent Platform Disclaimer: Vinkius is an independent platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, verified by, or otherwise authorized by Bright Data.
