Live Deal Tracking in Vercel AI SDK

Feed `list_deals` and `get_deal` results straight into your React components. Your users see funding rounds and acquisition news the second the AI pulls the record. This MCP Server pushes raw data through your stream. You define how the UI reacts as the `ai-sdk` parses incoming venture capital info.

Organization Deep Dives

Call `get_organization` or `get_org_funding` to map out a company's financial history. You can display these metrics in your dashboard without custom backend routes. Your frontend handles the heavy lifting of state management. The tools return JSON objects that match your existing TypeScript interfaces.

Automated Market Analysis

Use `list_industries` to group companies by sector. Your Vercel AI SDK app can generate trend reports by iterating through these lists. Trigger `chat_cbi` to let users ask natural language questions about the data. The tool maps these queries to current market intelligence.

Setup guide

Set up CB Insights 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 CB Insights 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 CB Insights transactions",
});

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