Build Live Market Dashboards

Give your users a dashboard that feels alive. Use the `get_price_multi_full` tool to pull 24-hour market data for a list of coins and stream it directly into your React or Svelte components. As the data arrives from the MCP server, your UI updates piece by piece. Forget waiting for a giant JSON blob to load. With the Vercel AI SDK, your agent's tool calls render in real time. The user sees prices and stats appearing instantly, not a blank screen. It's a way better experience, and it's simple to set up.

Render Interactive Price Charts

Let your AI client build financial charts right in front of the user. Call the `get_historical_daily` or `get_historical_hourly` tools to fetch OHLCV data for any crypto pair. The data streams directly into your frontend, letting you render a chart that draws itself as the numbers come in. This isn't a static image. It's a responsive component built from a live data feed. Your user asks for a chart, and your app delivers it, point by point. That's the power of combining this data with a streaming-first UI.

Create a Real-Time News Feed

A crypto app isn't just about prices. You need news. Use the `get_latest_news` tool to pull recent articles and display them in your UI. Your agent can even use `list_news_categories` to let users filter the feed by topics they care about. Because the Vercel AI SDK is built for streaming, you can design a news component that automatically polls for new articles and inserts them at the top without a full page reload. It makes your app feel current and connected to the market.

Setup guide

Set up CryptoCompare (Crypto Market Data) 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 CryptoCompare (Crypto Market Data) 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 CryptoCompare (Crypto Market Data) transactions",
});

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

Yes. You can use the `get_price_multi_full` tool to fetch all the data you need for a list of coins. Since the Vercel AI SDK streams tool results, you can build a UI that updates prices and 24-hour changes in real time as the data arrives.

You get access to daily, hourly, and minute-level historical data. The tools `get_historical_daily`, `get_historical_hourly`, and `get_historical_minute` all provide OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data ready to be streamed into a chart.

No, it's more than that. Besides real-time and historical prices, you can get market-wide data like top coins by market cap (`get_top_mktcap`), top trading pairs (`get_top_pairs`), and a full crypto news feed (`get_latest_news`).

This server only deals with public cryptocurrency market data. Your requests for prices or news don't involve any personal information. Vinkius runs every tool call in an isolated sandbox, and your connection is secured by your private endpoint token.
