How to Use the Infura (Ethereum Node RPC Provider) MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Build live Ethereum dashboards with Vercel AI SDK streaming real-time block and gas data directly to your frontend.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Infura (Ethereum Node RPC Provider) MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Infura (Ethereum Node RPC Provider) 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 live chain state directly to UI components
The `eth_blockNumber` tool pulls the latest block from the Ethereum mainnet instantly. Your frontend displays this number while your agent uses `eth_getBalance` to fetch user funds in parallel. Instead of waiting for a full page reload, raw numbers feed straight into the Vercel AI SDK stream. This direct connection means users see state changes as they happen on-chain. You bypass intermediate databases by letting the agent run `eth_getCode` to verify smart contract deployments on the fly.
Run gas estimates inside edge functions
The `eth_estimateGas` tool calculates the exact gas units needed for any execution payload. By combining this with `get_suggested_gas_fees`, your application presents real-time EIP-1559 cost projections to the user. Vercel AI SDK processes these calculations inside edge functions to keep latency under 100ms. Your agent uses `eth_gasPrice` to determine if a transaction should wait for cheaper block space.
Track pending transactions via this MCP Server
The `eth_getTransactionReceipt` tool fetches execution logs and status codes once a transaction finishes. If a user submits a raw payload through `eth_sendRawTransaction`, the agent monitors its status without blocking the main UI thread. Polling is handled via `eth_getFilterChanges` to capture state updates without spamming the node. This keeps your API usage clean while giving the user instant feedback on their transaction progress.

-
ai+@modelcontextprotocol/sdkpackages - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install dependencies
Run
npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdkplus your preferred model provider (e.g.@ai-sdk/openai). - 2
Create the Streamable HTTP transport
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 Infura (Ethereum Node RPC Provider) 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 Infura (Ethereum Node RPC Provider) 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 Infura.
