How to Use the Cheddar MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I pass Cheddar tools to Vercel AI SDK?

Install @ai-sdk/mcp and instantiate the client pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. You then spread the tools returned by the MCP Server directly into your generateText or streamText function calls.

Q: Can the Vercel AI SDK handle Cheddar promotions?

Yes, your agent uses listcheddarpromotions to check active discounts and apply them. The SDK streams the discount details directly to your React components as the agent finds them.

Pipe live Cheddar subscription updates and customer metrics directly into your Next.js UI using the Vercel AI SDK.

Live Billing Dashboards in Vercel AI SDK

The `list_cheddar_transactions` tool fetches real-time payment events from your Cheddar account to display them in your application. Your Vercel AI SDK client streams these transactions straight to the frontend, bypassing slow loading spinners entirely. When users ask about their Cheddar payment history, your Vercel AI SDK agent pulls the data and renders the UI instantly. This streaming setup keeps your Next.js interface responsive while fetching live Cheddar financial records.

On-Demand Usage Charges

The `add_cheddar_charge` tool writes one-time fees or usage-based items directly to a customer's active ledger. By pairing this billing tool with your Vercel AI SDK setup, your application processes immediate Cheddar adjustments during live chat sessions. Your Vercel AI SDK agent calculates the cost of consumed resources and applies the Cheddar charge in one step. The user sees the confirmed transaction appear on their screen without a page refresh.

Instant Subscription Status Checks

The `get_cheddar_customer_details` tool retrieves the active subscription tier, current usage balance, and account status for a specific user. Connecting this to your Vercel AI SDK client allows your support agent to resolve Cheddar billing questions in real time. Instead of jumping between browser tabs, your support team gets the exact Cheddar subscription state directly in their Vercel AI SDK workspace. The MCP Server handles the connection securely so your frontend code stays clean.

Setup guide

Set up Cheddar 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 Cheddar 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 Cheddar transactions",
});

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