How to Use the Medium Alternative MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Is Medium Alternative compatible with AI SDK for managing contributors?

You can use listcontributors to pull your publication's staff list into your app's admin panel. It works just like any other tool in your SDK configuration.

Perplexity

Programmatic story publishing with AI SDK

Pipe your content drafts straight to your profile using `create_post`. You get the post metadata back instantly, keeping your UI state in sync without manual refreshes. This setup works perfectly within Edge Functions. Your front-end stays responsive while the server handles the heavy lifting of API communication.

Manage publication workflows in your UI

Use `list_publications` to fetch where you can post, then hand off the ID to `create_publication_post`. It's the cleanest way to build a custom editor that actually talks to your Medium account. Your users won't see a loading spinner for five seconds. The data flows through the stream, hitting the screen as soon as the API responds.

Verify user context with get_me

Call `get_me` during your app's initialization phase to confirm identity. It grabs your user ID and basic profile details so you can personalize the dashboard. Stop guessing who is logged in. Use this tool to lock down your UI routes based on the actual authenticated user account.

Setup guide

Set up Medium Alternative 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 Medium Alternative 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 Medium Alternative transactions",
});

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