How to Use the GRIN MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Use the GRIN MCP Server to stream creator CRM data and campaign performance metrics directly into your AI-SDK powered interfaces.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect GRIN MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect GRIN 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.
Live influencer CRM data in AI-SDK
Feed your UI with real-time creator profiles and campaign stats. By using `list_contacts` and `list_campaigns`, you skip the manual data entry and show your users exactly what is happening in the GRIN platform right now. Your frontend reacts instantly as the data flows through the stream. You don't wait for loading spinners because the server pushes the raw list of creators or campaign metadata straight into your component state.
Track creator content and ROI in AI-SDK
Visualize how your partnerships perform by pulling post metadata and conversion numbers. The `list_content` and `list_conversions` tools give your agents the hard numbers needed to justify spend without opening another tab. Everything happens inside your app's lifecycle. You feed the output of these tools into your generation logic to show users a clear picture of which posts actually drive sales.
Update creator records via AI-SDK
Change partner details or status directly from your dashboard using `update_contact`. You define the logic, and the MCP Server handles the communication with the GRIN database safely. This keeps your internal CRM in sync with the source of truth. Your users modify creator properties without leaving the interface you built for them.
