Displaying Project Time Logs

You can call `list_commits` to get a list of commits, and for each one, the total time spent. This data lets you show users exactly where their focus went. Seeing this in real-time is key. The Vercel AI SDK streams the output, so your UI doesn't hang on a loading spinner while it grabs project details.

Tracking Defined Coding Goals

To show goals, use `list_goals`. This tool pulls user-defined targets and reports their current progress. It lets you visualize if the developer is hitting benchmarks. Because it streams directly into your frontend, users see goal updates instantly. That's way better than making them wait for a page reload.

Getting Daily Activity Summaries

Use `list_summaries` to pull daily totals of coding activity. This gives you a quick, high-level view of productivity day by day. With the Vercel AI SDK, this summary data streams directly into your UI. You can display it right next to the live chat output for maximum impact.

Setup guide

Set up WakaTime (Coding Stats) 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 WakaTime (Coding Stats) 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 WakaTime (Coding Stats) transactions",
});

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