Real-time image tracking in Vercel AI SDK

Pipe live repository data into your frontend components. Your AI client calls `list_repositories` and `list_tags` to display current image versions instantly. Stop waiting for background workers. The Vercel AI SDK handles the stream, so your users see image metadata as it arrives from the registry.

Automated repository management

Trigger repository creation or updates directly from your application logic. Use `create_repository` or `update_repository` based on your CI/CD pipeline state. This keeps your registry in sync with your deployment environment. Your application handles the logic while the MCP server executes the changes.

Registry discovery via AI

Search public images or verify your own setup using `search_repositories` and `get_user`. Your app can now query the registry for specific dependencies dynamically. It removes the need for hardcoded configuration. The AI client finds the correct image based on user input and provides it to your UI.

Setup guide

Set up Docker Hub 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 Docker Hub 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 Docker Hub transactions",
});

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