How to Use the Zid MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How does Zid integrate with Vercel AI SDK for real-time data?

The ai-sdk streams results directly into your UI. Instead of waiting for a single loading spinner, the user sees product listings or customer details appearing live as your agent calls tools like getzidorder.

Q: Can I check multiple Zid statuses using the Vercel AI SDK?

Yes. You can call checkzidstatus to verify the API health, and then use other tools like getzidproduct knowing that the connection is live.

Q: Which Zid methods are best for listing multiple records in Vercel AI SDK?

For groups of data, stick to the 'list' functions. Use listzidorders or listzidcustomers when you need an array of results displayed on a page.

Displaying Live Product Data in the Vercel AI SDK

Use `get_zid_product` to fetch product details instantly. Your agent client streams this data directly into the UI, showing users exactly what item is available without a loading screen. You can also list multiple items using `list_zid_products`. This makes your application feel snappy and responsive because the user sees the results appearing in real-time.

Managing Customer Records with Zid via MCP Server

The `get_zid_customer` tool pulls specific customer information. When you build a page, this data appears live as your agent fetches it. For bulk lookups, the `list_zid_customers` function lets you pull entire lists of shop customers, keeping your front-end data fresh and immediate.

Checking Store Status with Zid in Vercel AI SDK

`check_zid_status` confirms the current API status. This is crucial for building reliable UIs because you know immediately if the underlying e-commerce service is up. You can also use `get_zid_shop_profile` to pull store details, letting your front end display accurate information about the shop itself.

Setup guide

Set up Zid 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 Zid 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 Zid transactions",
});

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