How to Use the Dokku MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How does this handle Dokku app secrets in Vercel AI SDK?

Secrets are passed through encrypted channels during setconfig. Your agent never stores these values, it only facilitates the transmission to your host.

Stream live Dokku server logs and manage app configs directly inside your Vercel AI SDK interface without waiting for spinners.

Perplexity

Real-time process control for AI-SDK

Trigger `ps_restart` or `ps_scale` directly from your React components. Your agent handles the container lifecycle while the UI updates instantly. Stop switching windows to verify scaling. The SDK pushes these changes to your Dokku host and confirms the new replica count immediately.

Manage environment variables with AI-SDK

Update production credentials using `set_config` or `unset_config`. Your agent injects the necessary keys and triggers a deployment cycle automatically. This keeps your runtime environment synced with your application logic. Use `list_config` to double-check active values before pushing changes.

Log streaming for AI-SDK applications

Pipe container output straight into your Vercel frontend using `get_logs`. You see stack traces and application errors as they happen in your terminal or dashboard. This MCP Server provides the raw visibility needed for debugging. It turns your agent into an active participant in your incident response workflow.

Setup guide

Set up Dokku 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 Dokku 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 Dokku transactions",
});

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