Live inventory updates in Vercel AI SDK

Feed your UI with live stock levels by calling `list_ape_inventory`. Your React components render data as the AI pulls it, removing the need for clunky loading states. This MCP Server connects your dashboard to live business profiles. You get raw JSON back from `get_ape_business_info` to populate your custom user interfaces.

Automated order flows for Vercel AI SDK

Query specific order data using `get_ape_order_details` to show status updates instantly. Your users see progress markers move as the agent processes the transaction. Display catalogs by triggering `list_ape_products`. The results flow through your streaming response handler to keep the browser updated.

Multi-channel catalog management

Identify which sales channels are active by calling `list_ape_channels`. Use this logic to filter your frontend view based on connected storefronts. Check your vendor list with `list_ape_suppliers`. You can build custom panels that highlight procurement status directly in your Next.js application.

Setup guide

Set up ChannelApe 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 ChannelApe 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 ChannelApe transactions",
});

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