Live asset management for Vercel AI SDK

Trigger `list_assets` and `update_asset` directly from your React or Svelte components. You get the metadata back instantly, letting your UI reflect changes to video titles or tags without a page refresh. This keeps your streaming dashboard snappy. When your agent modifies content, the `get_asset` tool ensures your frontend state stays synced with the Edgio backend.

Real-time streaming diagnostics for Vercel AI SDK

Inject `get_hls_manifest` or `get_dash_manifest` calls into your streaming logic. Your UI can now pull manifest data the moment a user requests a playback stream, cutting down on lag. Combine this with `list_logs` to show playback health status in your app interface. You see the stream status as it happens, not after the fact.

SSAI and session setup for Vercel AI SDK

Initialize playback sessions with `initialize_preplay_session` while your agent handles the complex security logic. This ensures your users get authenticated stream access without exposing sensitive keys in the client. Your edge functions manage the session handshake. It's a clean way to handle server-side ad insertion while keeping your Vercel deployment lightweight.

Setup guide

Set up Limelight Networks (Edgio CDN & Streaming API) 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 Limelight Networks (Edgio CDN & Streaming API) 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 Limelight Networks (Edgio CDN & Streaming API) transactions",
});

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