How to Use the Chess.com Global Intelligence MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I get player game archives using Chess.com Global Intelligence and the Vercel AI SDK?

Your agent calls getplayergamearchives with a username. The tool returns a list of URLs for each month's games. You then have the agent feed one of those URLs into getplayermonthlygames to stream the PGN data directly into your UI.

Q: Can I build a live tournament tracker with Chess.com Global Intelligence and the Vercel AI SDK?

Yes. Use gettournamentmetadata to get the core details. Then, your agent can periodically call tools like getplayerstats for participants to show updated ratings as the event progresses.

Q: Is it possible to list all Grandmasters with Chess.com Global Intelligence and the Vercel AI SDK?

Absolutely. Just have your agent call listtitledplayers with the title set to 'GM'. The server returns a list of all players holding that title, which you can then stream into a table or list in your app.

Q: What's the difference between the daily and random puzzle tools?

The getdailychesspuzzle tool gives you the single, official puzzle of the day from Chess.com. getrandomchesspuzzle grabs any puzzle from their tactics database, which is great for building a training mode with endless problems.

Stream Player Stats Directly to Your UI

Your agent can grab a player's profile and stats using `get_player_profile` and `get_player_stats`. Instead of making users wait for a loading spinner, they see the data populating their screen in real time. The Vercel AI SDK streams the MCP tool output right into your React or Svelte components. You can also fetch a player's entire game history. The `get_player_game_archives` tool lists all their monthly archives, and `get_player_monthly_games` pulls the PGNs for a specific month. It's all streamed, so the UI feels incredibly responsive.

Live Leaderboards & Tournament Data

Keep your app's data fresh. Hook your agent into `get_global_leaderboards` to display the top players on Chess.com right now. The results stream in, so your leaderboard updates without a full page reload. You can also track specific events. Get all the metadata for a tournament with `get_tournament_metadata`, or see who's currently streaming with `list_active_streamers`. This is how you build a real-time chess community hub, not a static webpage.

Interactive Chess Puzzles with the Vercel AI SDK

Add training features to your app. The `get_daily_chess_puzzle` tool fetches the official daily puzzle from Chess.com. Your agent gets the FEN and solution, and you can render it on a chess board instantly. For more variety, use `get_random_chess_puzzle` to pull a random tactic from their database. This MCP Server gives your agent the raw data; your frontend, powered by the AI SDK, brings it to life for the user.

Setup guide

Set up Chess.com Global Intelligence 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 Chess.com Global Intelligence 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 Chess.com Global Intelligence transactions",
});

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