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

Stream real-time game history to your UI

This tool pulls complete monthly PGN data using `get_player_monthly_games` and historical lists from `get_player_game_archives`. Your Vercel AI SDK setup feeds these games directly into your React frontend as they parse, letting users step through moves without waiting for a massive payload to download.

Build live Chess.com puzzle feeds using the MCP Server

This tool fetches tactical challenges with `get_daily_puzzle` and `get_random_puzzle` to render interactive boards on the edge. By connecting the MCP Server to streamText, you send puzzle positions directly to your chess board component. Users get fresh tactical training layouts on demand.

Display player stats and online status instantly

This tool checks live metrics using `get_player_stats` and online presence with `is_player_online`. Your Vercel AI SDK setup streams these live updates directly to your frontend dashboard, letting users see who is active right now.

Setup guide

Set up Chess.com 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 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 transactions",
});

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