Real-time asset tracking in Vercel AI SDK

Feed live price movements into your React or Next.js components using `get_asset`. Your frontend displays current USD valuations and market cap shifts the moment the agent fetches them. Stop buffering data behind static fetches. This MCP Server pushes updates straight to your UI, giving users an immediate view of volatile assets.

Visualizing price trends with OHLCV data

Generate technical charts by piping `get_candles` results into your favorite charting library. You can pull specific time intervals like 'm1' or 'h1' to match the granularity your dashboard requires. Historical data flows through your app as a stream. It lets you render candlestick patterns without writing custom backend endpoints for every ticker.

Automated exchange monitoring

Use `list_exchanges` to populate your interface with top-tier trading platforms ranked by volume. It gives your users a clean list of verified exchanges and their associated markets. Combine this with `get_markets` to show specific trading pairs. It keeps your app updated with the latest market activity across the entire ecosystem.

Setup guide

Set up CoinCap 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 CoinCap 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 CoinCap transactions",
});

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

Common questions about CoinCap MCP in Vercel AI SDK

You initialize the client with the CoinCap endpoint and pass the tools into your generateText call. The SDK handles the connection so your agent can query prices on demand.

Yes, you use the candle tool to pull raw OHLCV data. Once the data arrives, your frontend logic handles the rendering of the price history.

The data is fetched directly from the source API. There is no middleman cache, so you get the most recent market information available.

No. The server handles the requests for you. You just connect and start calling the functions.

This server only touches public market data like price, volume, and exchange rankings. No personal user information or private keys ever cross the transport layer.
