Direct talent data injection for Vercel AI SDK

Feed `get_talent_details` and `list_talents` results directly into your React components. Your users see casting profiles populate instantly as the model generates content. Stop waiting for background processes to finish. By using this MCP Server, you link your database records to the `streamText` function for a responsive experience.

Media and asset rendering

Pull headshots and video links using `list_talent_media` to display live assets. Your front-end handles the raw data while the model manages the logic. Build custom talent galleries that update based on user queries. You control exactly how `list_talent_media` outputs appear in your Next.js dashboard.

Dynamic casting project filtering

Expose `list_casting_projects` and `list_custom_attributes` to your AI agent to filter project lists on the fly. Your interface reflects the current database state without manual page refreshes. Connect these tools to your UI state to show active projects. It keeps your development cycle tight and your data synchronized.

Setup guide

Set up Casting42 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 Casting42 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 Casting42 transactions",
});

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