How to Use the Cat Facts MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I add Cat Facts to my Vercel AI SDK project?

Run npm install ai @ai-sdk/mcp first. Then instantiate the client with createMCPClient using the Vinkius URL, pass the tools to your model, and close the client when done.

Q: Can I stream Cat Facts to a Next.js frontend with Vercel AI SDK?

Yes. By feeding listcatfacts into streamText, your UI displays the trivia chunks as they arrive instead of waiting for the full payload.

Q: How do I clean up connections after getting breed data?

Always call mcpClient.close() at the end of your route handler. This prevents open sockets from hanging in your serverless environment.

Feed real-time breed data to your Vercel AI SDK UI

Stop making your users stare at loading spinners. This integration lets your application pipe raw breed lists from `list_cat_breeds` straight to the browser. The moment your user asks about Persian or Siamese cats, the data flows. Your Edge Functions handle the connection without breaking a sweat. By passing the tool results directly into `streamText`, the interface updates chunk by chunk as the data arrives.

Fetch random facts with zero latency

Your Next.js app can grab trivia on the fly using `get_random_cat_fact`. It hooks directly into the core execution loop of your frontend agent. You don't need to write custom API endpoints or handle complex state machines. Just call the MCP tools via `mcpClient.tools()` and let the library handle the transport layer under the hood.

Manage clean connections inside Edge Functions

Keep your serverless execution times low by closing active connections. This MCP Server plays nice with Vercel's strict execution limits when you handle cleanup properly. Make sure to call `mcpClient.close()` once your streaming response finishes. This simple habit keeps your memory footprint small and prevents runaway billable execution minutes.

Setup guide

Set up Cat Facts 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 Cat Facts 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 Cat Facts transactions",
});

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