How to Use the Last.fm MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can I use Vercel AI SDK to compare two Last.fm profiles side-by-side?

Yes, you can pass gettoptracks and gettopalbums to your agent inside a standard chat interface. The SDK handles the parallel tool calls and streams the comparative analytics directly to your frontend.

Stream Last.fm listening history and music metadata directly into React and Next.js interfaces with the Vercel AI SDK.

Perplexity

Stream live scrobbles into your Next.js UI

The `get_recent_tracks` tool feeds live listening histories directly into your user interface without annoying page refreshes. Your AI client grabs the raw JSON payload and renders active listening feeds while the user watches. By coupling this with Vercel AI SDK streaming, you bypass standard loading spinners entirely. Your UI updates instantly as soon as new music data arrives from the server.

Build interactive music profile cards with MCP Server tools

The `get_user_info` and `get_top_artists` tools let your frontend generate personalized music profiles on the fly. You feed these tools directly into your component generation pipeline to render custom charts of what users listen to most. Because Vercel AI SDK handles Edge Functions natively, you run these data fetches close to your users. This cuts down latency to a fraction of traditional server-side rendering setups.

Generate contextual metadata sidebars

The `get_artist_info` and `get_track_info` tools pull deep metadata to populate contextual sidebars while users browse your app. Your agent fetches biography details and tag structures dynamically based on the current playing track. This setup avoids heavy upfront database queries on your end. You let the AI client decide when to fetch details via the MCP Server, keeping your initial bundle size light.

Setup guide

Set up Last.fm 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 Last.fm 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 Last.fm transactions",
});

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