How to Use the ZeroTier MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How does ZeroTier work with Vercel AI SDK for state changes?

The listlocalnetworks tool reports what the node is currently connected to. Your Vercel AI SDK client streams this list, allowing your UI to react instantly when a connection changes.

Q: Can I check member authorization status with ZeroTier and Vercel AI SDK?

Yes, you can use listcentralnetworkmembers to pull the current list of authorized members. Your agent passes this data directly to your client for real-time display.

Q: What is ZeroTier's role in local peer listing with Vercel AI SDK?

The listlocalpeers tool pulls all known peers from the node. This data streams into your client, letting you build a live map or connection graph for the user.

Q: Does ZeroTier support updating member configurations with Vercel AI SDK?

You can use updatecentralnetworkmember to adjust configuration settings. The result streams back, letting your UI confirm that the membership change was successful.

Monitor Network Status via MCP Server

The `get_local_status` tool pulls the current operational status of the local ZeroTier node. Your agent can use this to report immediate connection issues or network changes directly into the user interface. It's perfect for live dashboards. When a client calls `get_local_status`, your React component streams that data immediately, so users see the status update without hitting refresh.

Manage Central Network Details

Need to show user details about the network? The `get_central_network` tool pulls all metadata for a specific ZeroTier Central network. This lets your frontend display crucial connection points and identifiers. Because this result streams, you don't need complex loading states. Your UI just renders the data as soon as the MCP Server sends it.

List All Managed Networks

The `list_central_networks` tool provides a complete list of all available ZeroTier Central networks. This is helpful for user selection screens or initial setup wizards. Your agent client calls this, and the resulting array streams into your Next.js page. You can build out an interactive dropdown menu that populates instantly.

Setup guide

Set up ZeroTier 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 ZeroTier 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 ZeroTier transactions",
});

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