Perplexity

Real-time candidate monitoring with AI SDK

Feed live applicant updates into your React or Next.js components. Use `list_applications` to trigger UI refreshes as candidates move through your pipeline. Your users see the status change the moment the data hits the client. It removes the need for manual polling or constant page refreshes.

Deep dive into profiles using your AI SDK

Grab specific candidate details for your interface using `get_candidate`. This lets your application display full contact history and job associations immediately. Your UI logic handles the data flow while the MCP Server manages the connection. It keeps your frontend code clean and focused on the user experience.

Filter hiring data in the browser

Expose `list_jobs` and `list_departments` to help your users sort through open roles. Your AI client parses these results to build dynamic filtering menus on the fly. This keeps your application state synchronized with your actual hiring needs. You control exactly what data reaches the end user.

Setup guide

Set up Join 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 Join 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 Join transactions",
});

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