How to Use the Untappd MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Real-time data streams for your AI client using Untappd.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Untappd MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Untappd 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.
Stream Live Activity Feeds
When you call `get_user_activity`, the MCP Server sends back a live feed of activity—toasts, comments, and news. Your AI client can display these updates instantly in your UI; users see data appear as it streams through. This real-time capability means you skip the loading spinner entirely. You build frontends that react immediately to social drinking actions from Untappd.
Manage Social Connections
`request_friend` and `accept_friend` let your AI client handle all friend requests directly from the user interface. The user doesn't have to switch apps; they just talk to your agent, and it handles the social graph updates. It's simple state management: show pending invites using `get_pending_friends`, then call the appropriate tool to move the connection forward or reject it.
Check Beer Metadata
Need beer details? Use `search_beer` and `get_beer_info` to pull structured data into your app. You can show things like ABV, style, and brewery information right alongside the AI response. If a user mentions a venue name, you first run `foursquare_lookup` to get the correct Untappd Venue ID before fetching activity with `get_venue_activity`. It's all live.
