How to Use the MENU TIGER MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I connect the MENU TIGER MCP Server to my Vercel AI SDK project?

Install the @ai-sdk/mcp package and initialize the client using createMCPClient. You then pass the tools directly to generateText or streamText to let your agent fetch active menus. Don't forget to call close() when the session ends.

Q: Does the MENU TIGER integration with Vercel AI SDK support customer account lookups?

Yes, the agent can use getaccount to retrieve specific store profiles. This lets the model personalize the menu view or apply location-specific pricing based on the returned account metadata.

Q: How does Vercel AI SDK handle MENU TIGER connection state checks?

Use the checkmenutigerstatus tool inside your agent's system prompt. This lets the model verify the endpoint is active before attempting to modify or fetch live orders.

Stream restaurant menu data and live order updates directly into your Next.js web app using the Vercel AI SDK.

Real-time menu rendering with Vercel AI SDK

Your users shouldn't stare at loading spinners. This MENU TIGER MCP Server lets your Next.js app stream menu structures directly into your UI components using `get_menu` and `list_categories`. The data renders chunk by chunk as it arrives from the restaurant's database. You can build interfaces where customers ask for gluten-free options and watch the matching items populate live. By combining `get_item` with the SDK's streaming capabilities, you bypass traditional API latency entirely.

Live order tracking in React frontends

Keep customers updated on their food without forcing them to refresh the page. Your AI client can trigger `get_order` to fetch the current status of any active table ticket and feed it straight to the client. When a kitchen worker updates a ticket, the tool `update_order_status` feeds that change directly into your application's active stream. It makes building a live-updating kitchen monitor or customer receipt page remarkably straightforward.

Instant order history inspection

Let your customer service agents quickly review past transactions. The agent queries `list_orders` to pull the full history of a table or account, displaying the results in a clean, interactive list. Because it uses the Vercel AI SDK, the agent can render custom UI cards for each order on the fly. No more digging through legacy database dashboards to find out why a specific order was cancelled.

Setup guide

Set up MENU TIGER 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 MENU TIGER 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 MENU TIGER transactions",
});

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