How to Use the Files.com MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I stream Files.com directory trees using Vercel AI SDK?

Call listfolders inside your server action and pass the tool to streamText. The Vercel AI SDK handles the streaming protocol, letting your React components render the directory nodes as they arrive from the Files.com API.

Q: Can Vercel AI SDK handle Files.com user group audits?

Yes. You can pass the listusergroups tool directly to your agent. The Vercel AI SDK will execute the query and stream the group memberships straight into your UI, making user administration highly visual.

Q: What is the best way to clean up resources after running file tools?

Always call mcpClient.close() once your Vercel AI SDK session completes. This prevents hanging HTTP connections and ensures your serverless functions spin down cleanly.

Build React apps where Vercel AI SDK streams live file operations and updates directly from Files.com.

Stream live folder structures to your Vercel AI SDK UI

Stop making users wait for file lists to load. This MCP Server lets your Vercel AI SDK client stream active directories using `list_folders` directly into your Next.js frontend as the data arrives. Your users watch the file hierarchy render block-by-block without a single loading spinner. When they request details, the app immediately fires `get_file_details` and updates the UI state in real-time.

Manage user permissions without page refreshes

Let your Vercel AI SDK agent audit and display share settings on the fly. By connecting this MCP Server directly to your streaming interface, your users can see who has access to sensitive files without reloading the page. If a team member needs access, your agent executes the change and updates the visual permission grid instantly. You get a live, reactive admin panel running on Edge Functions without managing complex state machines.

Build reactive activity feeds on the Edge

Feed live security logs straight to your dashboard. This setup streams output from `list_activity_history` directly into your React component, letting admins watch file modifications as they happen. If a suspicious event occurs, the SDK can immediately trigger `delete_file` to remove the compromised asset. Because it runs on the Edge, your response time is practically instantaneous.

Setup guide

Set up Files.com 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 Files.com 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 Files.com transactions",
});

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