How to Use the Vidyard MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: What happens to video assets if I delete the player using Vidyard and Vercel AI SDK?

It's safe. Calling deletevideoplayer only removes the container; it doesn't affect the actual original video files stored in your account.

Q: Can I get a list of all Vidyard videos using Vercel AI SDK?

Yep. The listvideos tool pulls every asset ID and name from your dashboard. This is useful for building indexes or confirming which files you're working with.

Real-time Vidyard management results streamed directly into your frontend using Vercel AI SDK.

Manage Player Assets for Your Next.js App

Your agent can check what players you've set up by calling `list_video_players`. If a player name is wrong, it runs `update_player_name` to fix the display title. Need specifics? Use `get_player_details` to pull all the metadata for a single container. This data streams instantly into your UI, letting users see the results appear live.

Download Streamable Video Sources

The tool `get_video_source_files` pulls direct stream URLs for various quality levels like 480p and 720p. This lets your frontend build video players using the raw links. If you need to know what assets are available, running `list_videos` shows every video stored in Vidyard. It's fast, and the results feed right into your client.

Control Player State Via MCP Server

Sometimes you just need a clean slate. Call `create_empty_player` to spin up a brand new video container that isn't tied to existing assets. When a player is done, use `delete_video_player`. This permanently wipes out the player container without touching the original source videos.

Setup guide

Set up Vidyard 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 Vidyard 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 Vidyard transactions",
});

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