How to Use the Metronome MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can Metronome and the Vercel AI SDK handle high-volume events?

Yes. The ingestevents tool supports up to 100,000 events per second. You'll handle spikes easily while your agent processes the stream.

Build real-time billing dashboards with the Metronome MCP server and Vercel AI SDK to stream usage data directly to your frontend.

Perplexity

Real-time usage ingestion

Pipe event data straight into your billing engine using `ingest_events`. Your frontend components can trigger this instantly as users interact with your product. This keeps your revenue tracking tight. The Vercel AI SDK handles the stream, so your UI updates without waiting for a backend round-trip.

Live invoice monitoring

Fetch current billing status using `list_invoices` to display live totals. You don't need manual refreshes when the AI agent pulls the latest state. Displaying `get_net_balance` data in your UI gives users instant feedback. It’s clear, accurate, and happens while the user watches.

Customer contract management

Update client terms on the fly by calling `create_contract` through your AI interface. Changes take effect immediately without database migrations. You can also adjust pricing dynamically using `add_rate`. It’s the fastest way to handle custom agreements without leaving your application's dashboard.

Setup guide

Set up Metronome 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 Metronome 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 Metronome transactions",
});

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