How to Use the MagicBell MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Ship real-time notification streams directly into your Next.js frontend using MagicBell and Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect MagicBell MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect MagicBell 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.
Trigger instant alerts in your UI
The `create_broadcast` tool lets your AI client broadcast notifications across multiple channels instantly. Instead of waiting for a backend queue to finish processing, your Vercel AI SDK setup triggers the broadcast directly during a live chat or automated agent run. This means your users see notification confirmations pop up in their feed immediately. The streaming interface handles the state updates without forcing a full page reload or showing a generic loading spinner.
Stream broadcast history live with this MCP Server
The `list_broadcasts` tool fetches the history of sent alerts directly into your streaming UI context. Your AI client pulls the log of recent broadcasts to show users exactly what messages went out and when. By feeding this data straight into the Vercel AI SDK, the text streams onto the screen as it arrives. Developers get a clean way to show live activity logs without building custom polling mechanisms.
Inspect specific notification runs
The `get_broadcast` tool retrieves the exact payload, status, and recipient details for a single notification ID. Your agent uses this tool to debug delivery failures or check dispatch details on the fly. This MCP Server integration lets you render these details inside custom React components instantly. If a user asks why they missed an alert, the agent pulls the data and renders the status live.
