Manage Keys in Real Time

The `create_api_key` tool lets you issue new access keys for users right from the client-side call. You can also use `list_api_keys` to grab all keys tied to a specific API ID, showing your user's current credentials instantly.

Verify Key Status Live

Need to check if a key is legit? Calling the `verify_api_key` tool tells you immediately whether an inputted key works. This feedback streams back, so your user sees the validity status without waiting for a loading spinner. It's perfect for building interactive credential forms where validation needs to feel instant.

Track Usage Metrics

The `get_verification_analytics` tool pulls usage statistics for your API keys. This data lets you build a dashboard that shows how often and when users are hitting the service. Plus, `list_apis` gives you a clean rundown of every available API within your Unkey project, so you know exactly what tools you can expose to the user.

Setup guide

Set up Unkey API Management 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 Unkey API Management 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 Unkey API Management transactions",
});

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