How to Use the NewsCatcher MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I connect NewsCatcher to the Vercel AI SDK?

Install @ai-sdk/mcp. Initialize it with createMCPClient using the HTTP transport, then pass mcpClient.tools() to your streamText function.

Q: Can the AI filter NewsCatcher results by language in Vercel AI SDK?

Yes. The searchnews tool accepts a "lang" parameter. You pass standard language codes like "en" to limit the output.

Q: How do I find specific publishers for a topic?

Call listsources with a topic string. The server returns an array of matching outlets you can use in subsequent queries.

Stream live global news directly into your Next.js frontend using the NewsCatcher Vercel AI SDK integration.

Stream queries via MCP Server

The `search_news` tool lets your agent pull articles based on keywords, language, and country codes. You pass the parameters, and the server fetches matching records instantly from millions of indexed publications. Because you use Vercel AI SDK, those results stream straight to the user's screen. They read the headlines as the AI processes them, skipping the usual API wait times entirely.

Render grouped topic clusters

The `get_news_clusters` tool organizes raw feeds into structured, related story groups. Your application receives pre-sorted arrays of coverage rather than a chaotic feed of overlapping articles. You map these arrays directly to React components. The AI handles the semantic grouping on the backend, keeping your client-side logic clean and fast.

Filter by exact news sources

The `list_sources` tool returns available publishers filtered by topic, country, or language. Your agent checks this list before running broad searches to ensure it only reads from approved outlets. The `get_latest_news` tool then targets those exact domains. You get tight control over where your AI pulls its facts, reducing hallucination risk from unverified domains.

Setup guide

Set up NewsCatcher 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 NewsCatcher 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 NewsCatcher transactions",
});

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

It does. As the MCP Server returns article data, the SDK pushes those UI updates to your frontend in real time.

Call `list_sources` with a topic string. The server returns an array of matching outlets you can use in subsequent queries.

The server receives your keyword strings, requested topics, and country codes to execute the search. Vinkius runs this MCP Server connection inside an isolated V8 sandbox that destroys itself after the request finishes, leaving no permanent logs of your search history.
