Perplexity

Stream folder metadata into your UI

Visualize your directory structure instantly. Use `list_folder_contents` to fetch children and render them as interactive components in your React or Svelte app. Stop waiting for full page loads. This MCP Server pushes data updates directly to your frontend, ensuring the user sees their file hierarchy the second the agent finishes a query.

Automate file moves in Vercel AI SDK

Trigger organizational changes based on user intent. Call `move_file_to_folder` to reorganize assets without writing custom API logic for every edge case. Handle file lifecycle events within your edge functions. The server returns status updates immediately, letting your UI reflect the change in state without a browser refresh.

Search and link files dynamically

Find exact locations using `search_folders` to narrow down your Drive content. Connect related assets by calling `create_shortcut` to link distant directories. Keep your data accessible through programmatic shortcuts. Your application logic drives the organization, creating a responsive file system that adapts to user requests.

Setup guide

Set up Google Drive: Folders & Shared Drives 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 Google Drive: Folders & Shared Drives 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 Google Drive: Folders & Shared Drives transactions",
});

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