Perplexity

Displaying live station readings.

When you use this MCP Server, the results from `list_station_readings` stream directly into your React or Next.js UI. The user sees the sensor data appear in real-time—no loading spinner required. It's perfect for dashboards where showing live changes is key. Since it's Edge Function compatible, you get fast performance right at the edge.

Checking active flood warnings.

Your agent calls `list_floods` and streams back a list of all current alerts. You can build components that react instantly when new warning details show up. This allows end-users to see exactly what's happening across the UK Environment Agency network as soon as it’s reported.

Getting station metadata.

Need info on a specific monitoring location? Calling `get_station` fetches detailed data for one flood site. This data streams directly into your client-side component. You can build out maps or lists that dynamically populate with accurate, up-to-the-minute details from the UK Environment Agency.

Setup guide

Set up UK Environment Agency 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 UK Environment Agency 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 UK Environment Agency transactions",
});

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