How to Use the Workload MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Stream live workflow results directly into your frontend with Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Workload MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Workload 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.
Live Status Updates with the MCP Server
Need to show the user if a background job is running? Use `check_workload_status` to verify connectivity and tell your client exactly where things stand. This status check streams in real-time, so you don't have to make them wait for a loading spinner. You can also use `list_executions` or `get_execution` to pull live details on running jobs. Because the Vercel AI SDK handles streaming data directly into React and Next.js, users see this status appear as if it were generated by the AI itself.
Creating and Managing Workflows in the Client
Building a new automated process is simple using `create_workflow`. Your agent can call this tool, and you stream back confirmation that the workflow was set up. If things go sideways later, developers can use `list_workflows` to show users an overview of all existing automation pipelines. Furthermore, if a flow needs manual control, your AI client handles calling `enable_workflow` or `disable_workflow`. This lets you expose full lifecycle management to the end user's interface.
Debugging and Monitoring MCP Server Runs
When troubleshooting for a user, logging is everything. Use `list_logs` to fetch workflow logs directly into your component. This lets you show step-by-step debugging output as it appears. If an execution fails, don't worry. You can use `retry_execution`. The result streams back immediately, showing the user that the job has been kicked off again—a much better experience than just saying 'job retried'.

- Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
-
ai+@modelcontextprotocol/sdkpackages - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install dependencies

Use
StreamableHTTPClientTransportwith 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 Workload tools. Pass them directly togenerateText()orstreamText()— 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.
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 Workload transactions",
});
console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close(); Independent Platform Disclaimer: Vinkius is an independent platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, verified by, or otherwise authorized by Workload.
