How to Use the Gotify MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Send and display Gotify alerts in real-time directly inside your React app with Vercel AI SDK and this MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Gotify MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Gotify to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Push alerts to UI components via `send_message`
The `send_message` tool lets your Vercel AI SDK agent dispatch instant alerts directly to your self-hosted Gotify server. Your React frontend displays the notification payload immediately as the edge function executes, bypassing slow UI spinners. You pass the `GOTIFY_APP_TOKEN` to the MCP Server, and your code feeds the tool directly into `streamText`. This setup keeps your users updated on background jobs without making them wait for a manual refresh.
Manage apps on the fly with Vercel AI SDK
The `create_application` tool creates new notification channels inside your Gotify instance directly from your chat interface. Your user asks for a new alert feed, and the agent spins it up instantly, returning the brand-new application token to the UI. Combine this with `delete_application` to prune dead channels without leaving your Next.js dashboard. Every state update flows through standard React hooks, making your admin panel feel incredibly fast.
Fetch and render live notification feeds
The `get_messages` tool pulls the latest notification history from your Gotify server using the client token. Your Vercel AI SDK frontend renders this message stream on the fly, allowing users to scroll through past alerts in a clean list. You can clean up the feed instantly by invoking `delete_all_messages` or `delete_message` directly from the chat. It keeps the database clean and ensures your interface only shows what is relevant right now.

Use
StreamableHTTPClientTransportwith 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 Gotify tools. Pass them directly togenerateText()orstreamText()— 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.
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 Gotify transactions",
});
console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close(); Independent Platform Disclaimer: Vinkius is an independent platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, verified by, or otherwise authorized by Gotify.
