How to Use the KeyPay MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Stream live payroll data from KeyPay directly into your React frontend using the Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect KeyPay MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect KeyPay 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.
Build dynamic payroll dashboards with Vercel AI SDK
The `list_businesses` and `get_business_details` tools pull company hierarchies straight into your application. When a user asks for company stats, your agent fetches the current state from the KeyPay MCP Server. You don't need a loading spinner. The Vercel AI SDK streams the text response while the tool executes in the background. The user sees their business data render on the screen instantly.
Render pay run calculations on the fly
Calling `list_pay_runs` alongside `get_pay_run_details` gives your client exact payroll cycles and statuses. You pass these tool results straight to `streamText`. This means you can build interfaces where users ask about recent payroll costs. The agent hits the endpoints, formats the dates, and pushes the numbers to your Next.js frontend without writing custom API wrappers.
Expose employee records securely
Fetching staff data requires the `list_employees` and `get_employee_details` tools. Your AI client grabs the required IDs and pulls the specific worker's profile. You control the flow. Since the MCP connection happens server-side, your edge functions handle the auth tokens. The browser only receives the final streamed response about the employee.
