How to Use the Instatus (Status Pages API) MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I connect the Instatus (Status Pages API) to Vercel AI SDK?

Install the required packages, initialize the client using createMCPClient, and pass the tools to streamText. Remember to call mcpClient.close() once the request finishes.

Q: Can I stream component updates using Instatus (Status Pages API) and Vercel AI SDK?

Yes, your agent calls listcomponents or updatecomponent and the SDK streams the updated status states directly to your frontend components.

Q: How does Instatus (Status Pages API) handle bulk subscribers in Vercel AI SDK?

The agent uses addsubscribersbulk to register up to 100 emails at once. This avoids individual API roundtrips and updates your UI immediately.

Stream live status page updates and incident logs directly to your Next.js UI using Vercel AI SDK.

Live Incident Triage in React Components

The `create_incident` tool lets your agent open an active incident the millisecond your monitoring systems report a failure. Because Vercel AI SDK streams tool calls directly to the client, your users see the incident details populate in real-time on your custom dashboard. You can also use `update_incident` to feed progress updates to the UI as they happen. No spinners or stale states, just raw JSON streaming straight from the Instatus API to your React components.

Real-time Component Status Toggles via MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes `update_component` to instantly flip a service from operational to degraded when an outage hits. Your AI client renders these state changes dynamically without triggering full page reloads. If you need to fetch the entire stack state, `list_components` retrieves every service status in a single call. The SDK streams this list directly into your custom support portal UI.

Instant Metric Visualization on the Edge

The `add_metric_datapoint` tool pushes raw response times or error rates straight to your status page graphs. Running this on Vercel Edge Functions ensures latency stays under 50 milliseconds. When bulk updates are needed, your agent invokes `add_metric_datapoints_bulk` to batch multiple data points. The UI renders the resulting graph updates on the fly as the stream resolves.

Setup guide

Set up Instatus (Status Pages API) MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
ai + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies

Run npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdk plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Create the Streamable HTTP transport

Use StreamableHTTPClientTransport with 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 Instatus (Status Pages API) tools. Pass them directly to generateText() or streamText() — 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.

index.ts

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 Instatus (Status Pages API) transactions",
});

console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();
