How to Use the WhatsApp Business Alternative MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I handle message flow with the WhatsApp Business Alternative and Vercel AI SDK?

Your agent can use sendtextmessage for immediate replies when a user is logged in. For scheduled or non-conversational messages, it'll trigger sendtemplatemessage. The results stream back to your UI instantly.

Q: If I build a WhatsApp Business Alternative integration using Vercel AI SDK, what are the data privacy implications?

When your agent calls getwabadetails, it pulls account configuration information. This is sensitive operational data. You must ensure that the client handling this streamed data respects all permissions.

Q: Can I list numbers for a WhatsApp Business Alternative using Vercel AI SDK?

Yes, you can call listphonenumbers. This gives your agent an array of phone number objects associated with the account. The results are streamed right into your component.

Manage WhatsApp Templates

You can list all available templates using `list_message_templates`. This shows you exactly what messaging options the business account supports. Alternatively, if a template is outdated or wrong, you use `delete_message_template` to take it offline. It’s fast and gives your user an immediate confirmation in the UI.

Retrieve Business Account Details

Need to check the core account status? The `get_waba_details` tool pulls all necessary information for the WABA setup. This data appears instantly, letting your user see it populate without waiting on a spinner. Want to verify who runs the account or what phone numbers are linked? Call `get_business_profile` or use `list_phone_numbers`. The results stream directly into the client's view.

Send Messages and Media via MCP Server

Sending actual messages is simple. You can send a pre-approved template with `send_template_message`, or if you’re in an active chat, use `send_text_message`. Both actions stream the outcome back to the user. Plus, if you need visual confirmation, `get_media` grabs media info—it's great for showing users what assets are available before sending.

Setup guide

Set up WhatsApp Business Alternative 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 WhatsApp Business Alternative 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 WhatsApp Business Alternative transactions",
});

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