Perplexity

Stream search results directly to your UI

Your Vercel AI SDK components can now pull live data directly from `search_web`. The results stream into your React or Next.js components as they arrive. Stop making users stare at loading spinners. This MCP Server lets your agent fetch live context and render it while the AI is still processing the rest of the stream.

Scrape complex pages for your AI client

Use `fetch_url` to bypass bot protections on modern web pages. It pulls clean, readable text from complex SPAs that usually break standard scrapers. This gives your Vercel AI SDK agents a reliable source of truth. You get raw content ready for RAG injection without fighting headers or JavaScript loops.

Build edge-ready search integrations

This MCP Server runs on edge functions with minimal overhead. You connect your Vercel AI SDK project to the Linkup platform with a single endpoint token. It handles the connection management for you. You just focus on how your agent uses the data returned by `search_web` or `fetch_url` to build a faster user experience.

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

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 Linkup (AI Search & RAG) transactions",
});

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