How to Use the Umbrellar MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How does Umbrellar interact with Vercel AI SDK?

You pass the MCP tool definitions directly to your mcpClient. When a user triggers a warranty action, your agent calls the specific function (like getpolicy), and the results stream back instantly into your component.

Q: Can I see multiple claims with Umbrellar using Vercel AI SDK?

Yep. You just call listclaims. The tool fetches all existing records, allowing you to display a list of claim IDs and statuses right in your streaming UI.

Q: How do I handle updates on Umbrellar with Vercel AI SDK?

You call updateclaim when a status needs changing or details need fixing. Because this is an SDK client, the result of that update streams back to confirm success.

Q: Is Umbrellar useful for product syncing with Vercel AI SDK?

Absolutely. The syncproducts tool lets you keep your local inventory records synchronized with Shopify, making sure your eligibility checks are always current.

Check Eligibility and Validate Policies

Need to know if a product is covered? The `check_product_eligibility` tool immediately tells you if a warranty applies. You can also confirm policy existence using `validate_policy`, which requires matching an ID and order name. Because these tools stream results directly into your React or Next.js frontend, users see the eligibility status update in real-time—no loading spinner needed.

Manage Full Claim Lifecycle

The `create_claim` tool handles submitting a new warranty claim instantly. After submission, you can retrieve all details using `get_claim`, and list everything your user needs to see with `list_claims`. You'll even get the option to modify records later via `update_claim`. This full cycle—from initial registration (`register_product`) to claiming and updating—streams data live, letting you build a highly responsive customer portal.

List and Sync Product Data

Build administrative dashboards that need current product counts. Use `list_warranties` or `list_policies` to fetch all available options for your users. If your inventory lives on Shopify, the `sync_products` tool keeps Umbrellar's record accurate. Every result—whether listing policies (`list_policies`) or syncing products—appears live in the UI when you call these tools from the Edge Function.

Setup guide

Set up Umbrellar 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 Umbrellar 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 Umbrellar transactions",
});

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