Real-Time Audio Search Results

The `search_recordings` tool lets you query Xeno-canto's massive library for specific bird sounds. When your user triggers a search, the results stream directly into your Next.js or Svelte UI. The data doesn't wait for a loading spinner. Your AI client receives and renders the recordings list in real time using the Vercel AI SDK.

Handling Complex Search Filters

You can pass detailed parameters to `search_recordings`, like specifying both a geographic area (e.g., France) and an approximate date range. This gives your app granular control over the data retrieved from Xeno-canto. The streamable nature of the Vercel AI SDK means that even complex, filtered searches feel instant to the end user.

Building Custom MCP Features

Integrating this MCP Server into your product is straightforward. You call `mcpClient.tools()` and pass the available Xeno-canto functions to generateText or streamText. This simple setup means you expose powerful audio data searching capabilities without needing a dedicated backend endpoint for every query.

Setup guide

Set up Xeno-canto 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 Xeno-canto 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 Xeno-canto transactions",
});

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