Control devices via natural language

The `send_natural_language_command` tool lets you send any smart home command. Zapier interprets the command and routes it to the best matching action automatically. You can trigger specific device actions using `execute_zapier_action`, giving your user's agent direct control over devices.

List available automation functions

Need to show what devices are connected? Use the `list_exposed_actions` tool. This function lists all smart home actions that have been exposed for AI control. You can also get a full picture of possible integrations by calling `list_smarthome_actions`, which returns up to 50 matching automation actions.

Find specific device controls

If you're building out lighting features, call `list_lighting_actions`. This function shows available light control options like dimming or changing color. Similarly, `list_climate_actions` details thermostat and climate settings. Security checks are handled by `list_security_actions`, which lists camera and alarm control actions for your app.

Setup guide

Set up Zapier Smart Home 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 Zapier Smart Home 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 Zapier Smart Home transactions",
});

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