How to Use the GitScrum Time Tracking MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I handle active timers in GitScrum Time Tracking using Vercel AI SDK?

Call getactivetimer through the SDK's tool calling mechanism to check if a timer is currently running before starting a new one. Since GitScrum only allows one active timer at a time, you must stop any running timer first.

Q: Can I stream budget alerts directly to my frontend?

Yes, you can use budgetalerts with the Vercel AI SDK to stream real-time financial thresholds directly to your client-side UI. The SDK handles the server-sent events, updating your components as soon as a project nears its limit.

Q: How do I let users log hours manually through the chat interface?

Pass logmanualtime to your streamText tools parameter so your MCP agent can write back manual hours when a user types a request. The agent will prompt for the task UUID and duration, then execute the tool.

Stream active GitScrum timers and real-time budget burn-downs directly into your Vercel AI SDK application interface.

Stream Real-Time Timers into Vercel AI SDK UI

`start_timer` triggers an active session that streams status updates directly to your frontend components via the MCP server. Users see the timer ticking live in your Next.js app without waiting for page refreshes or manual polling. When users finish, `stop_timer` halts the tracking and pushes the updated time entry straight to GitScrum. This removes the lag between developer action and UI updates.

Render GitScrum Budget Burndowns Instantly

`budget_burndown` feeds raw charts data directly to your streaming UI components so your clients track costs dynamically. Your application renders the financial trajectory as the Vercel AI SDK processes the payload on the edge. Calling `budget_consumption` alongside it lets you display granular cost breakdowns right next to the chart. You get clean JSON payloads designed to build instant dashboard components.

Build Live Standup Dashboards

`standup_summary` aggregates team updates and streams them straight to your team's internal portal. Your custom AI client formats daily accomplishments on the fly as developers complete their work. Adding `standup_blockers` to the prompt allows your UI to highlight critical bottlenecks the moment they are logged. It eliminates the need for team members to dig through the GitScrum web app.

Setup guide

Set up GitScrum Time Tracking 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 GitScrum Time Tracking 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 GitScrum Time Tracking transactions",
});

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