Real-time price feeds for Vercel AI SDK

Feed live `get_simple_price` data into your React components without waiting for backend round trips. Your users see the market move as it happens, keeping your interface snappy and responsive. This MCP Server handles the raw streams, so you just map the JSON output to your UI charts. It removes the need for custom API middleware in your Next.js routes.

Historical market analysis in your stack

Pull `get_coin_market_chart` data to build interactive historical graphs. You can render these trends directly in your Vercel AI SDK output, letting the agent explain the movement to the user. Everything stays on the edge, keeping latency low. The data arrives ready for your charting libraries, so you spend time on design instead of data parsing.

On-chain pool monitoring for your app

Access `get_onchain_pool_trades` to show live liquidity events inside your app. It gives your AI agent the context it needs to report on specific DEX activity in real-time. Your code stays clean because the MCP protocol handles the heavy lifting. Just call the tool and pass the result to your streaming text response.

Setup guide

Set up CoinGecko Alternative 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 CoinGecko Alternative 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 CoinGecko Alternative transactions",
});

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

Common questions about CoinGecko Alternative MCP in Vercel AI SDK

You connect it using the `@ai-sdk/mcp` package. It plugs into your agent as a tool provider, allowing the model to call functions like `get_coin` directly within your stream.

Yes, because it uses the MCP protocol to fetch data directly. You avoid extra API layers and get the raw numbers right where your AI needs them.

Absolutely. Since the tool results return JSON, you can feed that data into your frontend components to render live tables or charts for your users.

No. The MCP server runs as a separate process, and your Vercel AI SDK agent talks to it directly over the transport layer you define.

This server only touches public cryptocurrency market data, prices, and on-chain pool info. No user wallet addresses or private keys are ever transmitted or stored.
