How to Use the Infracost MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Bring real-time cloud cost estimates into your Vercel AI SDK frontends with the Infracost MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Infracost MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Infracost 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.
Stream cost data to your UI
Feed live pricing data directly into your React or Next.js components. When your agent runs `query_pricing`, the result streams back to the browser instantly. Stop waiting for server-side processing. Your users see the financial impact of their infrastructure changes as the AI generates the response.
Manage guardrails in the browser
Expose infrastructure budget controls directly to your dashboard. Use `create_guardrail` to set limits and `get_guardrail` to display active violations in your UI. Your app stays in sync with your infrastructure. Any change to a policy triggers an immediate update, keeping your team informed without leaving the page.
Inject enterprise price books
Upload your custom pricing models using `ingest_price_book` to ensure your estimates match reality. Your agent handles the file transfer via `get_price_book_files_url`. Your UI displays accurate costs tailored to your specific cloud contract. It removes the guesswork from infrastructure planning for your end users.
