How to Use the Twist MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I check existing discussions with Vercel AI SDK?

You use listthreads by providing a channel ID. This tells you every active discussion stream within that specific area of Twist.

Q: Can Vercel AI SDK manage direct messages?

Yep. You can send private messages using senddirectmessage. The client needs the conversation ID, but it's a quick way to handle 1-on-1 communication flows.

Q: What if I need to update an existing thread with Vercel AI SDK?

Just call updatethread and provide the unique thread ID. This lets your user see the title or content change instantly in their UI stream.

Q: Does this MCP Server handle workspaces? (Vercel AI SDK)

Absolutely. The listworkspaces tool is how you begin mapping out a client's environment, giving your agent the top-level scope it needs.

Discover Workspaces and Channels with the MCP Server

The `list_workspaces` tool identifies all Twist workspaces, giving you boundaries for your agent's scope. You can then call `list_channels` using a specific workspace ID to map out every available conversation stream. This lets your AI client know exactly where it needs to look before attempting any action. It maps the entire structure of asynchronous teams.

Sending and Managing Private Messages

Use `send_direct_message` when your agent needs to talk one-on-one with a user. The tool requires a conversation ID, so you'll need the right context first. The `create_comment` tool lets your client post a reply to an existing thread within the UI. This is perfect for making sure the user sees replies pop up in real time.

Structuring and Updating Conversation Threads

The `create_thread` tool allows your agent to start a brand new discussion stream, needing just a channel ID, title, and initial content. This is how you build out the core of an async conversation. When details change, use `update_thread` or `list_threads` first. You'll get the thread ID back, which lets your client refresh the conversation data live.

Setup guide

Set up Twist 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 Twist 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 Twist transactions",
});

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