How to Use the Clip API MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Build live-updating Mexican payment dashboards and storefronts using the Clip API and Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Clip API MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Clip API 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 Clip API payment links directly to your frontend
The `create_payment_link` tool lets your agent generate unique checkout URLs for Mexican customers on the fly. Instead of making users wait for a full page reload, the Vercel AI SDK streams the generated links straight to the user's chat bubble as they talk to your app. You can also hook up `cancel_payment_link` to void active offers if a customer changes their mind mid-chat. Everything runs on our secure MCP Server in edge functions with zero cold starts, making checkout feel instant.
Live catalog updates in the UI
The `add_product_to_catalog` tool inserts new inventory items directly into your Clip POS system via your LLM interface. This MCP tool inserts the item and updates the state of your storefront instantly. Use `list_products_catalog` to let users browse your active stock without leaving the chat. Your agent pulls the inventory, formats it, and renders the current product list on the screen in one smooth motion.
Real-time balance and terminal monitoring
The `get_balance_summary` tool fetches your pending settlement amounts directly from Clip's Mexican gateway. This MCP server lets your agent grab the raw ledger data and push it straight to your React dashboard components. You can query physical POS hardware status using `list_terminals` or pull historical payouts with `get_settlement_reports`. The SDK handles the data stream so your finance team sees actual numbers update without manual refreshes.
