How to Use the Uscreen MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Real-time data streams into your UI with Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Uscreen MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Uscreen 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.
Displaying Uscreen Customer Data Live
Need to show a customer's details as the user types? You can call `get_customer` and stream that data directly into your React component. The end user sees the profile information populating in real time, avoiding any clunky loading spinners. This is perfect for building interactive dashboards where the speed of response matters. Your AI client streams the result right to the browser's DOM, making it feel instant.
Listing Uscreen Content Catalogues
Build a dynamic content listing page using `list_content` and `get_collection`. Instead of waiting for a huge API response, your AI client streams the collection list chunk by chunk into Next.js. This makes the entire experience feel snappy, even with thousands of items. Developers love this approach because it keeps the user engaged. The data appears live in the UI as the agent processes it, giving you total control over the presentation layer.
Verifying Uscreen API Health Status
Before your application runs any complex logic, check the connection first. Use `check_uscreen_status` to verify API connectivity instantly. This simple tool confirms that everything is up and running before you let the user interact with anything. This lightweight call fits perfectly into an Edge Function flow. You get immediate confirmation, which keeps your application stable and predictable from the moment it launches.
