How to Use the Zilliz Cloud MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I search vectors with Zilliz Cloud and Vercel AI SDK?

You execute searchvectors through your MCP Client. The results are streamed back in real-time, allowing you to display the similarity scores instantly on your frontend using the Vercel AI SDK.

Q: Can I manage multiple indexes using Zilliz Cloud and Vercel AI SDK?

Absolutely. Use listcollections to see every collection in the cluster, then use createcollection for new ones or dropcollection if you need to start fresh with your vector data.

Q: Does Zilliz Cloud support high volume writes with Vercel AI SDK?

Yes. The insertentities tool is designed for batch operations, letting you insert large amounts of data into a collection efficiently and reliably from your client code.

Real-time vector searching results streaming directly into your Vercel AI SDK frontend.

Stream Vector Search Results in Vercel AI SDK

When you call `search_vectors`, the result streams right into your UI. You don't wait for a loading spinner; the vector similarity search results appear live as they are returned by Zilliz Cloud. This real-time data flow makes building interactive, user-facing products simple. Your AI client handles streaming the output directly to React, Next.js, or Svelte.

Manage Vector Collections via Vercel AI SDK

Need to set up the search environment? Use `create_collection` and `list_collections` to manage your vector data before you even run a query. You can also `describe_collection` to check the exact details of any existing collection. Before querying, developers often need to `load_collection` into memory for optimal performance. This gives your agent everything it needs in one go.

Query and Insert Data with Vercel AI SDK

The process starts by getting the data into Zilliz Cloud using `insert_entities`. Once those entities are stored, you can refine your search using `query_entities` to filter results based on metadata. Need to clean up or correct records? You can use `delete_entities` to remove specific items. It's a direct way to manage the source material feeding your AI client.

Setup guide

Set up Zilliz Cloud 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 Zilliz Cloud 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 Zilliz Cloud transactions",
});

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