How to Use the Lago MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Directly stream usage data and billing events into your Vercel AI SDK interface without waiting for background syncs.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Lago MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Lago 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.
Real-time billing updates in Vercel AI SDK
Feed live subscription data straight into your UI components using `get_subscription` and `list_invoices`. Your users see accurate billing status the moment the AI finishes processing the request. Stop forcing users to wait for page refreshes. By piping `list_invoices` results through your stream, you provide immediate transparency into their account status.
Manage customer plans through this MCP Server
Define new pricing tiers or adjust existing ones on the fly with `create_plan` and `create_billable_metric`. Your agent updates your product catalog without you ever touching the dashboard. Just define the metric parameters in your code and let the MCP Server handle the backend configuration. It keeps your billing logic synced with your product growth.
Capture usage events with Vercel AI SDK
Trigger `send_event` or `batch_events` directly from your edge functions based on user activity. This keeps your metering logic tightly coupled with your application code. Don't let event tracking become an afterthought. By calling these tools during the user's session, you ensure every action is logged without adding latency to your request cycle.
