How to Use the DCL Logistics MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I connect the Vercel AI SDK to DCL Logistics?

Install @ai-sdk/mcp via npm. Pass your Vinkius endpoint URL to createMCPClient using the HTTP transport. Then map mcpClient.tools() right into your streamText call.

Q: Can Vercel AI SDK stream DCL Logistics tracking numbers?

Yes. The agent calls listrecentshipments and streams the carrier info and departure timestamps directly to your UI. Users see tracking details type out in real time.

Build React apps where your Vercel AI SDK agents stream live DCL Logistics order data directly into the user interface.

Stream inventory data with this MCP Server

`get_sku_inventory_status` and `list_warehouse_inventory` fetch real-time stock counts across your DCL warehouses. Your Next.js app hits the endpoint, grabs the available quantities, and hands them to the Vercel AI SDK. The end user watches the UI update instantly. You skip the loading spinners entirely because the agent streams the reserved and on-hand totals directly into your React components as the data arrives.

Render live fulfillment tracking

`search_orders_by_keyword` combined with `get_order_details` pulls down line items, recipient addresses, and audit trails. Customers ask your chatbot where their package is, and the agent resolves the exact fulfillment record. Getting carrier status updates happens through `get_shipment_details`. You pass the shipment ID, and the agent pushes estimated delivery dates and proof of delivery straight to the frontend without blocking the main thread.

Handle RMA requests automatically

`list_customer_returns` grabs pending Return Merchandise Authorizations, including return reasons and credit processing info. Your Svelte or Vue interface displays the exact status of returned goods. Calling `get_account_details` lets you verify the active warehouse assignments before processing a return. The MCP integration handles the heavy lifting while you focus on building a snappy customer experience.

Setup guide

Set up DCL Logistics 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 DCL Logistics 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 DCL Logistics transactions",
});

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

Common questions about DCL Logistics MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Install `@ai-sdk/mcp` via npm. Pass your Vinkius endpoint URL to `createMCPClient` using the HTTP transport. Then map `mcpClient.tools()` right into your `streamText` call.

Yes. The agent calls `list_recent_shipments` and streams the carrier info and departure timestamps directly to your UI. Users see tracking details type out in real time.

The SDK catches the error and returns a standard response block. You handle the failure state in your React component just like any other API timeout. Always call `mcpClient.close()` to clean up the connection.

Vinkius handles the underlying authentication. You just need your single endpoint token. Pass it via the `authProvider` config when setting up the client.

Vinkius runs your server in a V8 Isolate Sandbox that destroys itself after execution. The system processes recipient addresses, order references, and carrier tracking info without ever storing them on disk.
