How to Use the LiteLLM (LLM Proxy & Spend Tracking) MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Control your token spend and route LLM traffic directly inside your Vercel AI SDK frontends.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect LiteLLM (LLM Proxy & Spend Tracking) MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect LiteLLM (LLM Proxy & Spend Tracking) 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 cost tracking in Vercel AI SDK
Feed your UI live consumption data using `get_user_info`. You stop guessing what a user's session costs and start showing exact dollar amounts as the stream hits the client. Your application logic stays clean by offloading the math to the gateway. It's a direct bridge between your front-end state and your backend billing logs.
Dynamic model routing with LiteLLM
Inject new endpoints on the fly using `create_model` when you need to swap providers without a redeploy. It’s perfect for Vercel AI SDK when you want to shift traffic from a primary model to a cheaper fallback instantly. Check your current paths with `get_model_info` to verify the failover is active. You maintain uptime while the user experiences zero interruption during model migrations.
Manage keys for individual users
Generate unique credentials for every user session with `generate_key`. You restrict scope and limit budget exposure before a single prompt reaches your LLM provider. If a key leaks or a budget hits its ceiling, call `delete_key` to kill access immediately. You keep your infrastructure secure without touching your core application code.
