How to Use the Expedia Vrbo MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I handle real-time inventory updates using Expedia Vrbo with the Vercel AI SDK?

You call getrentalcalendar to get the availability calendar for any property. The Vercel AI SDK streams these calendar dates straight to your frontend, ensuring users don't try to book a dates block that just got reserved.

Q: Can I build an interactive map search using the Expedia Vrbo MCP Server and the Vercel AI SDK?

Yes. You use searchrentalregions to convert user text into coordinates, then run searchrentals. Feed the coordinates and results directly into your map components using the Vercel AI SDK.

Q: How does the Vercel AI SDK execute Expedia Vrbo booking confirmations?

Your agent calls bookrental once the user confirms their details. The SDK streams the transaction state, showing the user the exact moment their reservation shifts from pending to confirmed.

Q: Can users inspect reviews before booking?

Yes, getrentalreviews pulls actual guest feedback. Your Vercel AI SDK client streams these reviews directly into your interface, allowing users to read verified experiences while they evaluate a property.

Perplexity

Stream live Expedia Vrbo listings directly to your UI

The `search_rentals` tool queries live vacation rentals so your Vercel AI SDK application can render them instantly. Instead of making users wait for a full API payload, your agent streams matching properties directly into your React or Next.js components as they load. This setup relies on `search_rental_regions` to resolve vague destination names into exact coordinates before starting the search. By avoiding the typical spin-and-wait loading pattern, your users see pricing, location, and key property details pop up on their screen in real time.

Render property details with zero UI lag

The `get_rental_details` tool fetches specific rental data, and `get_unit_amenities` pulls structured lists of property features like pools or parking. When your users click on a listing, your Vercel AI SDK client streams these deep-dive specs directly into your custom frontend components. You can also feed `get_rental_images` and `get_rental_reviews` directly into your streaming UI. This allows your agent to render photos and guest ratings dynamically, giving your users immediate visual and social proof without page refreshes.

Secure bookings via this Expedia Vrbo MCP Server

The `book_rental` tool handles reservations by submitting guest details, booking dates, and payment info directly to the provider. Using this MCP Server with Vercel AI SDK means your agent can process the booking in the background while updating the user's interface step-by-step. If plans change, `cancel_itinerary` handles cancellations, while `check_rental_policies` checks refund terms beforehand. Your interface remains responsive, displaying the cancellation progress and updated booking status without freezing the user's browser.

Setup guide

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

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