How to Use the Dropbox Paper MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I perform a search in Dropbox Paper using the Vercel AI SDK?

You pass the searchfiles tool into your generateText call. Once you provide a query string, the tool returns the relevant documents directly to your agent’s context.

Q: Can I create new Dropbox Paper docs via the Vercel AI SDK?

Yes. You simply invoke the createdocument tool with your Markdown content. It pushes the file directly to your Dropbox account.

Q: How are large folders handled in the Vercel AI SDK?

Use listfiles for the initial load and listfilescontinue to paginate through the rest. It prevents your memory from spiking on large directories.

Stream your Dropbox Paper docs directly into your Vercel AI SDK interface for real-time document creation and search.

Perplexity

Live Paper document management

Trigger `create_document` from your frontend to generate new content without leaving your app. Your users get immediate feedback as the AI streams the creation process directly into the UI. This keeps the document lifecycle tight. You aren't just sending requests; you're building a reactive bridge between your interface and the Dropbox backend.

Instant search for AI-SDK

Use `search_files` to find specific Paper documents based on content queries. The results load instantly in your stream, allowing the agent to reference existing notes during a conversation. Stop waiting for server-side roundtrips to finish. By piping data through `list_files` and `search_files`, your frontend displays relevant info the moment the agent finds it.

File and folder control

Manage your directory structure using `move_file` and `create_folder` directly from your application logic. It gives your AI client the autonomy to organize assets as they are created. You handle the file operations through simple tool calls. It keeps your workspace clean without needing to switch tabs or manage Dropbox manually.

Setup guide

Set up Dropbox Paper 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 Dropbox Paper 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 Dropbox Paper transactions",
});

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