How to Use the ZenRows MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can I handle localized content with ZenRows and the Vercel AI SDK?

Yep. The scrapegeo tool lets you target specific regions, like 'us' or 'gb'. This ensures your agent pulls data relevant to a particular market, making your streaming results highly accurate.

Q: Does the MCP Server support JavaScript-rendered content for Vercel AI SDK?

Absolutely. The scrapejs tool enables full JS rendering using ZenRows' headless browser. This is crucial when static scraping fails because of complex site logic.

Q: What happens if my scrape needs to wait for content with ZenRows and the Vercel AI SDK?

The scrapewait tool lets you pause the process until a specific CSS selector appears. This prevents your agent from grabbing incomplete data, improving the quality of the streamed results.

Get Real-Time Web Content via MCP Server

The `get_screenshot` tool generates a URL that lets you grab an instant picture of the page. This is perfect for showing users exactly what the agent saw before processing it. You can also use `scrape_markdown`. It cleans up the content, stripping out ads and navigation junk so your AI client only sees clean text to stream into the user interface.

Bypass Anti-Bots for Live Streaming

When you need data from a protected site, `scrape_antibot` handles it. It enables JS rendering and bypasses common anti-bot measures so your agent can pull the live content needed for streaming results. For maximum anonymity when scraping web content, use `scrape_premium`. This tool sets premium proxy access, giving you higher fidelity data to stream directly into a user's view.

Structured Data Extraction with Vercel AI SDK

The `scrape_autoparse` tool automatically pulls structured data from web pages. It doesn't just dump raw text; it organizes the information for your client to process and stream. If you need specific content, `scrape_custom` lets you execute a scrape using advanced parameters like CSS extractors or even passing a session ID.

Setup guide

Set up ZenRows 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 ZenRows 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 ZenRows transactions",
});

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