How to Use the Column MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I connect Column to Vercel AI SDK?

Install @ai-sdk/mcp and instantiate the client with the Vinkius MCP endpoint URL. Pass the tools from mcpClient.tools() directly into your streamText function to let your LLM call banking actions.

Q: Can Vercel AI SDK stream Column live balances?

Yes, you can stream the output of columngetbalance directly. The Vercel AI SDK UI components render the settled ledger amounts as they arrive from the bank.

Q: How does Column handle high-volume ACH sweeps in Vercel AI SDK?

You call columnlisttransfers to fetch historical payment operations. The SDK streams the array of ACH histories straight into your React tables for immediate viewing.

Run a chartered US bank directly inside your Next.js frontend using Vercel AI SDK and the Column MCP Server.

Live banking interfaces with Vercel AI SDK

The `column_create_bank_account` tool lets your React or Next.js app spin up actual demand deposit accounts on the fly. Your users watch their new account details render instantly on screen as the Vercel AI SDK streams the raw JSON response from the bank. Instead of staring at a spinning wheel, customers see their routing information populate block by block. Your agent can immediately chain this with `column_get_balance` to show live settled funds right inside the UI component.

Instantly trigger wires and print physical checks

The `column_create_wire_transfer` tool gives your streaming interface the ability to execute same-day wire transfers without leaving the chat window. The Vercel AI SDK handles the active stream, showing the user exactly when the money leaves the ledger. If you need to pay a legacy vendor, the agent fires `column_create_check` to physical mailboxes. The UI updates in real-time to show the check generation status, making banking feel like a fast local API.

Sandbox simulation with this MCP Server

The `column_simulate_ach` tool lets you mock inbound money routing directly inside your local dev environment. You don't need real cash to verify how your Next.js app handles complex bank flows. Verify business customers by running `column_create_entity` for instant KYC checks. The MCP Server hooks directly into Vercel AI SDK to stream registration updates straight to your dashboard.

Setup guide

Set up Column 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 Column 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 Column transactions",
});

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