How to Use the DPD MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can I filter DPD shipments in Vercel AI SDK?

Use listshipments with your custom filter parameters. The results pass back to your agent to sort or display based on user input.

Connect your Vercel AI SDK frontend to DPD to stream live shipping data, label generation, and tracking status directly to users.

Perplexity

Real-time shipment creation

Trigger `create_shipment` inside your React or Next.js components to generate parcel numbers instantly. Your users watch the data populate the UI without waiting for background jobs. This keeps the interface snappy. Use the returned shipment data to feed your tracking views immediately.

Direct tracking feedback

Feed `get_parcel_status` into your streamText responses to provide live updates. The AI agent interprets the status and explains it to the customer in plain language. Errors surface instantly. If a tracking number is invalid, the client handles the exception and alerts the user before they leave the page.

Manage labels and manifests

Pull documents with `get_labels` and `get_manifest` directly into your browser-based workflows. You no longer need to jump between shipping portals and your admin dashboard. Everything stays in the Vercel AI SDK context. You generate the PDFs and display them to warehouse staff right where they need them.

Setup guide

Set up DPD 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 DPD 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 DPD transactions",
});

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

Common questions about DPD MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Use an environment variable to store your DPD API credentials. Your AI client pulls these securely at runtime to authenticate requests to the MCP server.

Yes. The tools return JSON payloads that the Vercel AI SDK processes and streams into your UI components seamlessly.

Use `list_shipments` with your custom filter parameters. The results pass back to your agent to sort or display based on user input.

The server doesn't store your sensitive shipment records. It acts as a bridge, passing requests directly between your Vercel AI SDK client and the carrier.

The client receives a standard error. You should implement a retry block in your agent logic to handle transient network issues.
