How to Use the ElevenLabs MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can Vercel AI SDK stream ElevenLabs audio metadata directly to my React frontend?

Yes. The server outputs audio metadata via texttospeech which you can stream through your Vercel AI SDK route directly to update your UI state in real time.

Q: How do I let users choose their own ElevenLabs voice profile in Vercel AI SDK?

You call listvoices to fetch the complete set of available voices. Pass that array to your React component, then use getvoice to load the selected voice parameters.

Q: Can I manage pronunciation dictionaries on the edge?

You can query active dictionaries using listpronunciationdictionaries. This lets your Edge Functions correct specialized industry terms before sending them to the generator.

Perplexity

Live text-to-speech rendering in Next.js

Stop waiting for full audio files to download before playing them. This integration lets your Vercel AI SDK frontend initiate voice generation instantly with `text_to_speech` so your React app can play it back without a noticeable delay. You fetch your saved assets using `list_history` or pull specific files with `get_history_item`. It keeps your UI snappy because the metadata feeds straight into your component state.

Dynamic voice selection on the Edge

Edge functions need to stay lightweight. By combining Vercel AI SDK with this MCP Server, your edge routes query available profiles via `list_voices` and inspect specific voice qualities using `get_voice` without bloated dependencies. The model selection happens dynamically. Your app runs `list_models` on the fly to match the user's language preference before sending the final prompt to the speech engine.

Real-time usage tracking in user dashboards

Keep an eye on your operational costs directly inside your user-facing dashboard. Your Vercel AI SDK app calls `get_subscription` and `get_user_info` to display remaining characters or account tiers directly on the page. This prevents users from hitting hard limits blindly. You can block or warn them before triggering another generation cycle, saving your API budget from unexpected spikes.

Setup guide

Set up ElevenLabs 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 ElevenLabs 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 ElevenLabs transactions",
});

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