How to Use the Expedia Hotels MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How does Vercel AI SDK handle live booking confirmations with the Expedia Hotels MCP Server?

Your app streams the output of bookhotel directly to the client. The agent first calls pricecheck to verify the rate, then requests user confirmation before executing the booking and returning an itinerary ID in the stream.

Q: What happens if a user cancels a booking in a Vercel AI SDK interface using Expedia Hotels?

The agent invokes cancelitinerary to modify the active booking. The response streams the cancellation status and refund details directly to your React state, updating the UI in real-time.

Q: How does this MCP Server protect sensitive guest data like billing addresses and emails?

All guest details processed by bookhotel run inside an ephemeral V8 sandbox. Your Vercel AI SDK app transmits this data directly through encrypted channels, leaving zero cached traces on the host.

Build real-time travel frontends that stream live Expedia Hotels data directly into your React components using this Vercel AI SDK MCP integration.

Perplexity

Stream live hotel searches directly to UI

`search_hotels` feeds raw property data straight into your UI stream as it arrives from the Expedia API. Your users watch rates and room options populate their screens instantly, skipping the annoying loading spinners that kill conversion rates on standard travel sites. By passing the tool output directly to your React or Next.js frontend, you render custom hotel cards in real-time. First, use `search_regions` to lock down the location ID, then let the agent execute the search to render live price feeds on the edge.

Secure checkout flows inside the Vercel AI SDK

`book_hotel` executes reservations directly from edge functions without spinning up a heavy backend. You build a fast checkout flow that prompts the user for their name and email, validates the live price using `price_check`, and books the room in one continuous streaming session. Because Vinkius runs this MCP Server in a zero-trust sandbox, sensitive guest details like emails and billing addresses bypass your local database entirely. The client receives a confirmed itinerary ID the moment the API call completes, letting you update the UI state immediately.

Interactive review and image feeds

`get_guest_reviews` pulls actual traveler feedback and feeds it into your streaming components to build instant trust. Instead of waiting for a massive payload to download, your Vercel AI SDK client renders individual ratings and cleanliness scores chunk by chunk. Combine this with `get_hotel_images` to show high-resolution photos categorized by room type or pool views. Your interface changes dynamically based on what the user asks, rendering visual proof right alongside the text.

Setup guide

Set up Expedia Hotels 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 Expedia Hotels 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 Expedia Hotels transactions",
});

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