How to Use the DHL MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I show DHL tracking in my Vercel AI SDK project?

Connect the MCP server and pass the tool definitions to streamText. Use the resulting tracking object to update your state, showing the user the latest DHL status.

Q: Can Vercel AI SDK handle DHL label generation?

Yes. Call createshipment within your server-side route and return the label URL to your Vercel AI SDK frontend for immediate display.

Stream real-time logistics data into your Vercel AI SDK interface. Monitor shipments and calculate rates with live updates.

Live shipment tracking for Vercel AI SDK

Feed `track_shipment` results directly into your React components for instant status updates. You'll see the delivery progress without waiting for a backend response. Your UI updates the moment the data hits the wire. It's the fastest way to show your users exactly where their package sits in the DHL network.

Instant rate quotes for Vercel AI SDK

Call `get_rates` to pull live shipping costs directly into your application's checkout flow. You'll avoid hardcoding static tables that go stale. Your users get accurate pricing based on weight and destination. It keeps your checkout experience sharp and tied to current DHL transit costs.

Address verification for Vercel AI SDK

Run `validate_address` before a user submits an order to catch typos. This stops bad data from entering your database at the source. It handles the heavy lifting of normalization so your forms stay clean. You'll reduce failed deliveries by checking the DHL registry before the label is ever printed.

Setup guide

Set up DHL 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 DHL 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 DHL transactions",
});

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