How to Use the Cloudflare Tunnel MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can Vercel AI SDK automate tunnel creation?

Yes, you call createtunnel via the MCP interface. Your server-side code handles the request and returns the tunnel ID to the agent.

Manage your private network infrastructure directly from Vercel AI SDK with this Cloudflare Tunnel MCP Server.

Real-time tunnel provisioning in Vercel AI SDK

Trigger `create_tunnel` or `delete_tunnel` directly within your edge functions. You see the tunnel lifecycle events push to your UI as they happen. Your application state stays synced with your infrastructure without manual dashboard refreshes. It handles the heavy lifting of `update_tunnel` calls automatically.

Configuration management for Vercel AI SDK

Push remote settings using `put_configuration` to ensure your network stays locked down. Your front-end logic dictates the tunnel state based on user input. Retrieving current status is simple with `get_configuration`. You get exact byte-level details delivered through the SDK's streaming pipeline.

Automated network pruning

Execute `cleanup_connections` when your session ends to keep your account clean. This prevents stale routes from cluttering your dashboard. Removing specific routes happens via `delete_route`. Your code manages the cleanup process, keeping your infrastructure footprint lean.

Setup guide

Set up Cloudflare Tunnel 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 Cloudflare Tunnel 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 Cloudflare Tunnel transactions",
});

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

Common questions about Cloudflare Tunnel MCP in Vercel AI SDK

You manage authentication through the provided endpoint token. The MCP Server ensures your credentials never touch the client-side browser code directly.

Yes, you call `create_tunnel` via the MCP interface. Your server-side code handles the request and returns the tunnel ID to the agent.

It does. Every tool output pipes directly into your stream text handlers. You get immediate feedback on infrastructure changes.

Vinkius hosts the server in an ephemeral sandbox. It keeps your API keys isolated from your application logic entirely.

The server only touches tunnel configuration metadata like IDs and routing rules. It never accesses the actual traffic passing through your tunnels.
