How to Use the Uber MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Real-time ride management data streaming directly into your Vercel AI SDK frontends.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Uber MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Uber to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
View saved locations with the Uber MCP Server
Don't make users type addresses. Use `get_saved_places` to instantly list all stored spots, letting them select a pickup or dropoff point right in your UI. This tool returns aliases, full addresses, and coordinates for every saved location. It’s perfect for building quick trip request forms where speed matters.
Estimate prices using the Uber MCP Server
Need to show users how much a ride will cost? You can grab a general idea with `get_price_estimate` by inputting two locations. It compares costs across different types of rides in local currency. For more precision, use `get_ride_estimate`. This targets one specific product and gives you the exact price before the user clicks 'Book'. The results stream right to your UI.
Autocomplete locations with the Uber MCP Server
Building a ride-hailing app means users need fast location input. `get_place_autocomplete` helps solve this by taking the user's current spot as bias. It returns structured address components and place descriptions. This lets your AI client suggest valid pickup or dropoff locations in real time, making the whole booking process feel instant.
