How to Use the MaintainX MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I connect MaintainX to Vercel AI SDK?

Install the @ai-sdk/mcp package. Call createMCPClient with your HTTP transport URL to connect to the MCP Server, then pass the resulting tools into your streamText function.

Q: Can Vercel AI SDK update MaintainX work orders?

Yes. The agent uses the updateworkorderstatus tool. It changes the status to 'DONE' or 'INPROGRESS' based on user input.

Q: How do I filter MaintainX work orders in Vercel AI SDK?

Pass optional parameters to listmaintenanceorders. The agent handles the filtering logic before streaming the results back to the user.

Connect MaintainX to your Vercel AI SDK applications and stream live work order updates straight into your React frontend.

Stream Work Orders in Vercel AI SDK

Using `create_new_work_order`, your Vercel AI SDK agent builds work orders while the user watches. The application accepts a title and instantly queues a repair job. The frontend renders the confirmation in real-time as the text generates. You don't need a loading spinner. When a technician asks for their queue, `list_maintenance_orders` pulls the active list and streams the titles directly into your UI components.

Fetch Live Asset Data

You call `list_maintenance_assets` to pull the physical equipment directory from the MCP Server. The client streams the inventory list straight to your dashboard. This skips the usual database sync delays. Users click a machine and `get_asset_details` fires off. The metadata returns instantly. Your component state populates before the user even realizes a network request happened.

Map Facilities and Teams

The `list_facility_locations` tool maps out your buildings for the physical plant. You need this context to assign jobs accurately across different sites. Combine that with `list_team_members`. You get the exact roster of technicians available at each site. Your Next.js app displays the dispatch board without manual API wiring.

Setup guide

Set up MaintainX 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 MaintainX 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 MaintainX transactions",
});

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

Common questions about MaintainX MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Install the `@ai-sdk/mcp` package. Call `createMCPClient` with your HTTP transport URL to connect to the MCP Server, then pass the resulting tools into your `streamText` function.

Yes. The agent uses the `update_work_order_status` tool. It changes the status to 'DONE' or 'IN_PROGRESS' based on user input.

It works perfectly on the Edge. You initialize the client, fetch the tools, and call `mcpClient.close()` when the execution finishes.

Pass optional parameters to `list_maintenance_orders`. The agent handles the filtering logic before streaming the results back to the user.

The server processes facility locations and equipment metadata. Vinkius runs the connection inside an ephemeral V8 Isolate sandbox, destroying the environment the moment the session ends.
