Real-time contact lookups in AI-SDK

Pull your latest relationship data directly into your frontend components. Use `list_contacts` to fetch your database records without leaving your React or Next.js environment. Your UI updates as the data streams in. You get immediate visibility into your pipeline without the friction of context switching between your app and your CRM.

Manage interaction history with AI-SDK

Keep track of every touchpoint by calling `list_interactions` directly from your server-side logic. You'll see exactly what was discussed with a client during your last call. This data feeds straight into your generative streams. Your users get accurate, up-to-date context about their partners the moment they ask a question.

Write new records using AI-SDK

Capture new business opportunities instantly with `create_contact`. Your users can add leads while they talk to your agent, ensuring no detail gets lost in the ether. Everything stays synced with your existing folk records. You maintain a clean database without requiring any manual entry after the conversation ends.

Setup guide

Set up folk 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 folk 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 folk transactions",
});

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