How to Use the ByteNite MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Stream ByteNite video encoding progress directly into your Vercel AI SDK frontends for live user updates.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect ByteNite MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect ByteNite 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 encoding status in Vercel AI SDK
Feed your UI real-time job data by calling `get_encoding_job` through your Vercel AI SDK integration. The data streams directly into your components, showing users exactly what's happening to their files right now. Stop forcing users to wait for a loading spinner. Your React or Next.js app renders the progress as the MCP server reports it, making the process feel instant.
Manage templates with Vercel AI SDK
Use `list_templates` to pull available encoding options and `get_template` to inspect specific settings. Your code handles the selection process dynamically based on what the server returns. This keeps your encoding logic in sync with the ByteNite platform. You avoid hardcoding values and keep your application logic flexible for future updates.
Monitor system health in Vercel AI SDK
Run `get_system_info` to check if the encoding infrastructure is ready for high-volume tasks. It gives your application an immediate pulse on the backend status. Your app can then decide whether to queue a new job or alert the user about potential delays before they start the process.

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.
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 ByteNite 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 ByteNite.
