Live inventory visibility for AI SDK

Feed stock levels straight into your UI components without waiting for backend polling. Your AI client pulls current counts using `list_inventory` and renders the updates as they happen. This keeps your customers informed with live data. It eliminates stale stock information in your dashboard.

Automated order creation via AI SDK

Submit fulfillment requests directly from your chat interface by triggering `create_logistics_order`. The tool handles the transaction and sends the confirmation back to your stream. Your app state updates immediately upon execution. It removes the need for manual order entry forms.

Warehouse network mapping for AI SDK

Query your entire fulfillment footprint using `get_warehouse_network` to find the best shipping origin. Your agent evaluates capacity and location before passing the data to your renderer. This reduces shipping times by picking the right facility. It puts complex logistical logic behind a simple interface.

Setup guide

Set up Flexport Logistics 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 Flexport Logistics 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 Flexport Logistics transactions",
});

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