How to Use the Layup MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I add Layup tools to my Vercel AI SDK client?

Install @ai-sdk/mcp and call createMCPClient with your Vinkius HTTP endpoint. Pass the tools from mcpClient.tools() directly to streamText to let your agent call createorder during chat sessions. Remember to call mcpClient.close() when the session ends to prevent memory leaks.

Q: How do I handle failed lay-by payments in the UI?

Your Vercel AI SDK agent can call getpayment to check transaction errors and display them in the chat. If an order needs to be aborted, the agent triggers cancelorder and immediately updates the UI state. This keeps the customer informed without requiring manual page refreshes.

Stream Layup lay-by order updates and live deposit tracking directly into your React frontend using the Vercel AI SDK.

Set up Layup orders in your Vercel AI SDK frontend

`create_order` is the tool your Vercel AI SDK setup uses to stream new lay-by payment plans straight into React chat threads. Instead of waiting for a full page reload, the client streams the raw order data directly into your custom JSX components so shoppers see their terms instantly. You don't have to build complex polling mechanisms to show the initial deposit details in your Next.js application. The connection handles the heavy lifting, letting you feed the output of `get_order` into your UI state while keeping the shopper informed of their payment schedule.

Stream payment histories using this MCP Server

`list_payments` lets your Vercel AI SDK application fetch and display every single deposit linked to a specific lay-by plan. When a customer asks about their payment progress in the chat window, the agent pulls the ledger and renders a live timeline of their installment history. If a shopper makes a manual payment, the `create_deposit` tool registers the transaction and updates the active plan on the spot. Because this MCP Server runs on Vercel's edge network, your React components get instant visual confirmation without annoying load times.

Fetch shopper profiles without slowing down Next.js

This MCP tool pulls explicit shopper parameters to personalize the checkout experience within your Vercel AI SDK interface. Your agent reads the shopper's past payment behavior using `list_customers` to adjust lay-away options on the fly. Having this customer context handy means your Next.js components can display tailored payment reminders. You get to build a highly responsive checkout desk that updates live as the user modifies their cart.

Setup guide

Set up Layup 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 Layup 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 Layup transactions",
});

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