Get Tweet Details in Real Time

Use the `get_tweet_details` tool to pull the text and engagement metrics for any specific X (Twitter) tweet, just by feeding it a numeric ID. When you call this from your Next.js frontend, the data appears instantly; users won't wait for a loading spinner. This streaming capability makes social intelligence feel immediate. You can build live dashboards that show engagement numbers appearing as they are retrieved via the MCP Server.

Look Up User Profiles with Vercel AI SDK

The `lookup_user_by_username` tool lets you fetch full details on an X (Twitter) user—bio, follower count, and verification status—using only their handle. Because this result streams directly to the UI, your users see the profile data populating piece by piece. This works great for dynamic widgets. You don't have to wait for a single API call; you get continuous data flow right into your React component.

Search Recent Tweets Using MCP Server

Need recent social chatter? The `search_recent_tweets` tool searches for public X (Twitter) posts within the last seven days using keywords or hashtags. Since this result streams, you can display a continuously updating feed in your application. This is perfect for real-time monitoring tools. Instead of receiving one large chunk of data, your AI client streams each search result to the user interface as it becomes available.

Setup guide

Set up X (Twitter) 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 X (Twitter) 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 X (Twitter) transactions",
});

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