How to Use the Ko-fi MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can my Vercel AI SDK agent filter specific Ko-fi transactions?

The agent receives the full list from listtransactions and can parse, filter, or summarize that data based on your specific requirements and business logic.

Stream real-time Ko-fi transaction data directly into your React or Next.js UI using the Vercel AI SDK.

Live transaction monitoring for AI-SDK

Feed your UI with live donation and order data. By using the `list_transactions` tool, your app pulls the latest financial activity straight into the component state without standard loading delays. This setup works perfectly with streaming responses. As your AI client processes the tool output, your interface updates instantly, giving users a clear view of their shop performance.

Native TypeScript integration for Ko-fi

Type safety matters when handling financial records. The server provides a clean structure for every record returned, so you don't have to guess the shape of the incoming data. Connect the server through the standard HTTP transport. You get full control over how the AI parses these records, ensuring your front-end components render accurate donation totals and order statuses.

Edge-ready MCP server connection

Deploy your agents to the edge without overhead. This MCP server runs efficiently alongside your application, keeping your dependencies light and your response times fast. Since it supports standard auth protocols, you can secure your connections while keeping the development process simple. You just configure the endpoint and let the agent handle the rest.

Setup guide

Set up Ko-fi 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 Ko-fi 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 Ko-fi transactions",
});

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

Common questions about Ko-fi MCP in Vercel AI SDK

You connect the server via the HTTP transport in your configuration. Once linked, you pass the `list_transactions` tool definition to your streaming function to display data.

Yes, it is designed for streaming. The tool results flow directly into your UI components as they arrive, which prevents the interface from hanging during a fetch.

The agent receives the full list from `list_transactions` and can parse, filter, or summarize that data based on your specific requirements and business logic.

The server expects a standard endpoint token. You manage this during the initial connection setup to ensure your agent has access to your private creator data.

The server only touches your transaction logs. Data stays within your secure environment, and no external party gains access to your financial history or account details.
