Real-time conversation management for AI SDK

Feed your chat interface live data from your helpdesk by triggering `list_conversations` and `get_conversation` via your edge functions. Your users see the exact state of tickets as the AI fetches them. This keeps your React or Next.js components updated without manual refreshes. The AI SDK handles the stream, so the UI reflects changes the moment the server responds.

Instant customer data retrieval in Vercel AI SDK

Call `get_customer` or `list_customers` to pull user profiles into your application state instantly. You get the full picture of who is reaching out before the AI generates a single word. This setup removes the lag between clicking a ticket and seeing the sender's history. Your frontend stays responsive while the server processes the data.

Dynamic helpdesk actions via AI SDK

Execute `add_reply` or `update_conversation` directly through your application logic. The AI SDK pipes these tool calls back to your backend, keeping your helpdesk state in sync with your user interface. Automate the routine parts of your support cycle without leaving your custom dashboard. Every interaction is logged and applied as soon as the tool finishes its task.

Setup guide

Set up FreeScout 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 FreeScout 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 FreeScout transactions",
});

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

Common questions about FreeScout MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Yes. You can use the `add_reply` tool to send responses directly from your AI agent.

It does. Because the server streams tool outputs, your frontend reflects FreeScout status changes immediately.
