Perplexity

Live ticker updates in your UI

Your AI client fetches current stock prices instantly. It uses `get_stock_quote` to push data directly into your frontend state. Stop relying on stale polling. This MCP server pushes data through the SDK for a live experience that keeps your users informed.

Financial metrics at your fingertips

Call `get_basic_financials` to pull balance sheets and ratios into your components. You get the raw numbers you need to build custom investment dashboards. Your AI client handles the data parsing. You focus on the UI while the server manages the connection to the financial API.

Market intelligence for your users

Use `get_market_news` to filter news by sector or category. Your interface displays the latest headlines as they hit the wire. Search across exchanges with `search_symbols` to find the right ticker. Your users get the specific data they want without digging through noise.

Setup guide

Set up Finnhub 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 Finnhub 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 Finnhub transactions",
});

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