How to Use the FanPower (PickUp) MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How does FanPower (PickUp) handle streaming updates inside a Vercel AI SDK project?

Your agent calls listevents or getleaderboard and pipes the raw JSON output directly into the streamText function. This lets your React frontend render live sports engagement data chunk by chunk without waiting for the entire payload to resolve.

Q: Does this setup support interactive sports trivia games?

Absolutely. Your agent pulls active trivia via listquestions and fetches individual question data with getquestion. The SDK then streams these questions directly into your interactive game components.

Q: How does the Vercel AI SDK protect user-submitted sports picks and fan profiles?

All fan profiles fetched via getfanprofile and sports predictions from listpicks stay inside Vinkius's secure MCP sandbox. No raw database access is exposed to the client, preventing unauthorized modification of fan point totals.

Stream live game-day fan picks and leaderboard updates directly into your Next.js frontend with the Vercel AI SDK.

Stream live event data using this MCP Server

Your AI client triggers `list_events` to grab active game schedules and feeds them straight to your user's browser without page refreshes. When a user selects a game, the agent calls `get_event_details` to pull live match info and instantly updates the DOM. By bypassing slow backend API handlers, you render live sports data directly into React components. The Vercel AI SDK handles the streaming chunks, meaning your users see the scoreboard change the millisecond the server responds.

Render fan picks on the fly with Vercel AI SDK

The `list_picks` tool lets your agent fetch what fans are predicting for upcoming plays. If a specific prediction stands out, the agent uses `get_pick_details` to show the exact metrics behind that user's choice. This setup lets you build interactive polling widgets that update live as fans submit their choices. You don't make your users wait for a full page reload; the SDK streams the pick distribution directly into your SVG charts.

Display leaderboard standings instantly

Your agent uses `get_leaderboard` to fetch the top-performing users based on their prediction accuracy. To keep players hooked, the agent calls `list_rewards` to show them exactly what prizes they can redeem with their points. By linking these tools to your UI components, you display active prize catalogs using `get_reward_details` in real-time. This keeps the competitive tension high because fans see their rank shift the moment a game ends.

Setup guide

Set up FanPower (PickUp) 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 FanPower (PickUp) 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 FanPower (PickUp) transactions",
});

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