How to Use the vote.direct MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can I handle complex election queries using vote.direct and Vercel AI SDK?

Absolutely. You can chain calls, like first running getupcomingelections by ZIP code, then passing those dates to a component that uses getpollinglocations. The streaming nature makes this feel native.

Real-Time Election Data via MCP Server

The `get_upcoming_elections` tool quickly finds elections for a ZIP code. Your agent streams this data directly to the UI, so users see election dates pop up without waiting for a loading state. Need to know where people vote? Use `get_polling_locations` to find nearby polling sites and pass that list straight into your component's state.

Check Voter Registration Status

The `get_registration_details` tool pulls the latest voter registration deadlines for any given state. When a user inputs their location, you instantly show them what they need to know about signing up. It's super fast because the MCP results stream right into your front end. You don't have to worry about managing slow API calls in React.

View Specific Ballot Details

If a user asks for ballot info, `get_ballot_information` handles the request immediately by election and address. Your AI client processes this data and shows exactly what's on their specific ballot. Plus, you can check the system health with `check_api_status` to make sure everything is up before displaying anything.

Setup guide

Set up vote.direct 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 vote.direct 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 vote.direct transactions",
});

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