Stream Task Creation Live

The `create_task` tool adds a new to-do item to your list. When you call this via the Vercel AI SDK, users see the task appear in the Todoist data stream immediately, without refreshing the screen. It's perfect for building user interfaces where the end user needs instant feedback. You can get the full context of a new entry right as it happens.

Filter and View Active Tasks with MCP Server

Use `list_active_tasks` to pull back data that filters by project, label, or a specific search query. This tool lets you narrow down thousands of tasks into actionable lists for your user. The Vercel AI SDK handles the streaming; so when the list comes back, the UI populates item-by-item, which feels much snappier than a big loading spinner.

Manage Projects and Sections

If you need to structure tasks better, `list_projects` shows all your existing Todoist projects. You can also use `get_project_details` to pull metadata for any specific project. This lets your client read the organizational hierarchy first. Knowing where a project sits helps your agent decide if it needs to call `create_project` or just add tasks inside.

Setup guide

Set up Todoist 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 Todoist 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 Todoist transactions",
});

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