How to Use the UpGuard MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How does the MCP Server manage UpGuard authentication with Vercel AI SDK?

Authentication requires passing an OAuth token via authProvider. This keeps the connection secure and means you only need one endpoint token for all your calls to the MCP Server.

Stream real-time security findings directly into your React or Next.js frontends with Vercel AI SDK.

Displaying Identity Breaches in Real Time

You can call the `list_identity_breaches` tool to get a list of identity breaches immediately. The results stream right into your UI, letting users see which accounts are compromised without waiting for a loading spinner. This makes your front-end feel fast and responsive.

Checking Vendor Security Status

Need to know if a vendor is risky? Just run `get_vendor` with the vendor ID. The details pop up live in your app's chat window, so you don't have to redirect the user to another page to check their security posture.

Listing Monitored Assets

The `list_monitored_domains` tool returns all domains UpGuard is tracking for a given account. Your AI client streams this list instantly, allowing you to build out domain monitoring dashboards right inside your user-facing product.

Setup guide

Set up UpGuard 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 UpGuard 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 UpGuard transactions",
});

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

Common questions about UpGuard MCP in Vercel AI SDK

The MCP Server interacts with identity breach records, which are sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII). UpGuard handles this using a zero-trust model via your endpoint token. You never see raw credentials.

Yeah, it does. Since you're building user-facing products with the Vercel AI SDK, the tool results stream directly into the UI. You see data appear live—no loading screens needed.

You're primarily working with vendor and identity risk data. Specifically, this includes lists of active account risks, monitored domains, and user risk profiles.

The stream will stop, which is what you expect when an external service fails. You can build error handling into your Next.js component to display a clear message.

Authentication requires passing an OAuth token via `authProvider`. This keeps the connection secure and means you only need one endpoint token for all your calls to the MCP Server.
