Perplexity

Real-time TripAdvisor search via MCP Server

Use `search_location` to find hotels, restaurants, or attractions by name or address. Your agent gets a list of candidates right away. Then, you can refine that result set using `get_nearby_locations`. This lets the user see what's actually close to their coordinates, making the whole experience feel live.

Getting deep location details in Vercel AI SDK

`get_location_details` pulls all the core info for a specific place using its ID. It gives you more than just an address—you get comprehensive data points. Pair that up with `get_location_photos`. This fetches both professional site pictures and actual user-submitted shots, which is perfect for showing off in real time.

Analyzing TripAdvisor feedback using the MCP Server

`get_location_reviews` grabs the latest user feedback for any given place. This feeds directly into your UI, letting users see fresh opinions instantly. Don't forget to check out `get_location_details` again after gathering reviews; it helps confirm everything you need to display.

Setup guide

Set up TripAdvisor 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 TripAdvisor 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 TripAdvisor transactions",
});

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