How to Use the Gripr MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Build live construction dashboards with the Gripr MCP Server and Vercel AI SDK. Stream site data directly to your React components.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Gripr MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Gripr 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.
Real-time site data streaming
Pipe live project updates directly into your UI components. When your agent calls `list_tasks` or `get_project_details`, the results stream into your frontend without the lag of traditional API polling. Your users see the status of site inspections as the data arrives. It turns your interface into a live monitor for active construction projects.
Instant labor tracking feedback
Connect `register_hours` to your input forms for immediate verification. The AI client processes the submission and updates your state instantly. This removes the gap between a worker finishing a shift and the data hitting your database. It keeps your labor logs accurate and visible.
Dynamic field form management
Display HSE and QA forms directly in the browser by fetching them with `list_forms`. The AI client handles the context, letting users interact with safety documents in real-time. You build interfaces that react to the data retrieved. It ensures that every safety document is current and accessible to the field crew.
