Perplexity

Stream BrightHR absence data into React

Feed your UI live updates using `list_absences` or `list_holiday_requests`. Your frontend renders employee leave status as soon as the agent fetches the data. Stop relying on static state. This MCP server pushes raw JSON into your streamText calls so your users see the schedule change instantly.

Query employee records via Vercel AI SDK

Expose `get_employee_details` and `get_employee_salary_info` to your agents. You get precise, typed responses back from the BrightHR API every time. Your application code handles the data structure directly. Pass the tool output into your components without writing custom API wrappers.

Manage BrightHR workflows with MCP Server

Trigger `record_absence` through your chat interface. The tool executes the update while your agent confirms the action in the conversation. This keeps your application logic clean. You call the tool, the server handles the request, and the UI updates based on the result.

Setup guide

Set up BrightHR 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 BrightHR 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 BrightHR transactions",
});

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