How to Use the ECB Interest Rates — Monetary Policy Rates & Banking MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I connect the Vercel AI SDK to the ECB Interest Rates — Monetary Policy Rates & Banking server?

You'll use createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp. Just pass your unique Vinkius endpoint URL in the transport options and you're set. The client will handle authentication automatically.

Q: Can I use this to track just the main ECB rate with the Vercel AI SDK?

Yes. The getkeyrates tool is specifically for fetching the main refinancing operations (MRO) rate. Your agent can call it to get the single most important policy rate.

Q: What's the best way to show all key rates from the ECB Interest Rates — Monetary Policy Rates & Banking server in a Vercel AI SDK app?

Use the getallkeyrates tool. It's designed to return the MRO, deposit, and marginal lending rates in one call, which is efficient for building a dashboard component that shows the full policy stance.

Stream ECB rate changes directly into your React UI with the Vercel AI SDK. No more loading spinners for financial data.

Live ECB Rates in Your UI

This MCP server gives your Vercel AI SDK app direct access to the European Central Bank's policy rates. Your agent can call `get_all_key_rates` to fetch the main refinancing rate, the deposit facility rate, and the marginal lending rate all at once. Because the AI SDK streams tool results, you don't wait for all the data to come back. You can build components that show the rates populating in your UI one by one. It makes your financial dashboards feel incredibly fast and responsive.

Visualize Monetary Policy Transmission

Don't just show the policy rate, show its real-world effect. Use the `get_mfi_rates` tool to see what commercial banks are actually charging for loans and paying on deposits. This is the key to understanding monetary policy transmission. Combine it with `get_deposit_rate` in a single prompt. Your app can then stream the data needed to draw a chart comparing the policy floor to actual bank behavior, updating in real time right in the user's browser. It's a powerful way to visualize economic data.

Build a Live Rate Corridor Display

The ECB's interest rate corridor sets the boundaries for the money market. Your agent can fetch the floor and ceiling of this corridor by calling `get_deposit_rate` and `get_marginal_lending_rate`. With the Vercel AI SDK, you can build a simple component that always shows the current corridor. The data streams directly into your UI, so if a policy change happens, your users see the updated corridor instantly without a page reload.

Setup guide

Set up ECB Interest Rates — Monetary Policy Rates & Banking 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 ECB Interest Rates — Monetary Policy Rates & Banking 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 ECB Interest Rates — Monetary Policy Rates & Banking transactions",
});

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