Stream Coal Prices to the UI

The `get_coal_prices` tool pulls live market rates for bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, and anthracite coal. Your Vercel AI SDK client streams this data directly into your Next.js application as it arrives. Users don't wait for a spinner to see the latest ton prices. Tie this to `get_coal_trade` for a clear market picture. You can pipe international import and export quantities straight into a live dashboard. The edge function handles the fetch, and the user gets instant visibility into global coal movements via this MCP Server.

Vercel AI SDK Mine-Level Tracking

Dig into specific extraction sites with `get_mine_production`. This tool grabs EIA-7A and MSHA-7000-2 data for every operating mine in the country. You can render production volumes state by state without writing custom backend fetch logic. Pair that with `get_coal_production` to show regional trends. If a user asks your agent about Wyoming's output, the client calls the MCP Server, retrieves the exact tonnage, and streams the answer back into the chat interface instantly.

Render Quality and Reserve Metrics

Coal isn't just about volume; it's about heat and emissions. Use `get_coal_quality` to expose sulfur content, ash percentages, and heat values to your end users. The data feeds directly into your React components for real-time environmental reporting. When analysts need to look ahead, `get_coal_reserves` provides the productive capacity and stockpile numbers. Your application surfaces these long-term indicators on the fly, giving investors the physical metrics they need to make decisions.

Setup guide

Set up EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence 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 EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence 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 EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence transactions",
});

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

Common questions about EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Install @ai-sdk/mcp and set up your transport with createMCPClient. Pass the HTTP endpoint, call mcpClient.tools(), and feed the array into streamText or generateText. Always call mcpClient.close() when the request finishes.

Yes. The client automatically handles the tool execution and streams the output from get_coal_prices straight to your frontend. Your users see the breakdown by rank without any loading delays.

You get direct access to EIA-7A and MSHA-7000-2 filings. The server returns exact production volumes for individual operating mines across the United States.

Yes. The HTTP transport mechanism works perfectly with edge functions. You can deploy your AI application globally and fetch coal metrics with minimal latency.

This server only reads public U.S. coal industry data, specifically reserve capacity and stockpile metrics. It never logs your prompt history or stores the specific regional queries your users run. Your application data stays inside your infrastructure.
