How to Use the Circle.so MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Build live community dashboards in React. Connect Vercel AI SDK to Circle.so and stream member data straight to the frontend.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Circle.so MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Circle.so to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Stream Circle.so posts to your UI
Pipe `list_community_posts` through the Vercel AI SDK and watch text generate on screen exactly as the LLM processes it. Your users hate loading spinners. Next.js handles the edge streaming while the MCP Server pulls live discussion threads from your community. Call `list_post_comments` to let the AI summarize active debates and render the output directly into your React components. Building a custom member portal takes minutes instead of weeks. You skip writing custom polling logic entirely.
Build real-time member directories
Pass `list_community_members` to `streamText` to build real-time directories. Community managers need instant access to user data. Watch the AI filter, sort, and display your active participants live. Vue and Svelte frontends catch the chunks perfectly. Trigger `list_community_events` to populate upcoming schedules inside your application. Event tracking works the exact same way. The data arrives formatted, letting your UI components handle the rendering while Vinkius manages the connection state.
Map your MCP Server architecture
The `list_space_groups` tool grabs your top-level categories while the AI figures out how they relate. Navigating complex community hierarchies usually requires recursive API calls. This integration simplifies that mess by mapping the structure for you. Combine that with `list_community_spaces` to build dynamic navigation menus. The AI client reads the exact structure of your Circle instance and formats it for your frontend framework automatically. You get a perfect representation of your community layout.

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.
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 Circle.so transactions",
});
console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close(); Independent Platform Disclaimer: Vinkius is an independent platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, verified by, or otherwise authorized by Circle.so.
