Perplexity

Real-time VIN decoding for your frontend

Feed a VIN string into `decode_vin_details` to pull technical specs directly into your application state. This avoids manual database lookups and keeps your UI in sync with the latest federal data. The tool streams results back to your edge function, so users get immediate feedback. Your components update as soon as the `decode_vin_details` data lands.

Live safety recall alerts in the browser

Inject `get_safety_recalls` into your streamText calls to flag dangerous vehicles before they reach your checkout flow. It checks the official DOT Transportation / 美国交通部 database in real-time. You can set up your interface to show warnings the moment the AI finishes its query. This keeps your users informed without needing a separate backend service for vehicle history.

Visualizing NCAP ratings through your AI

Use `get_vehicle_safety_ratings` to fetch star ratings that you can render as UI components. The data flows through your AI client to populate your dashboard automatically. Since it's an MCP Server, you define the tools and let the model decide when to fetch the numbers. Your app stays clean and focused on showing the data, not managing the API connections.

Setup guide

Set up DOT Transportation / 美国交通部 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 DOT Transportation / 美国交通部 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 DOT Transportation / 美国交通部 transactions",
});

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

Common questions about DOT Transportation / 美国交通部 MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Install the MCP client package and connect your endpoint. Pass the tools from the server into your model's tool block to start pulling information.

Yes. Since you are using streamText, the UI updates as chunks arrive. You don't have to wait for the full response before showing data.

No. You can connect directly to the managed endpoint from your edge functions. The authentication is handled by the token you provide in your config.

The MCP client will return an error object. You should handle this in your tool call catch block to inform the user.

Yes. This server does not store the VINs you process. It acts as a pass-through for the DOT Transportation / 美国交通部 data.
