How to Use the zipBoard MCP in Vercel AI SDK
See zipBoard data stream live in your UI using the Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect zipBoard MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect zipBoard to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Manage Projects and Files
The `list_projects` tool lets you grab a list of all existing zipBoard projects. You can then pass that data to other tools, like using `list_files` to get project URLs for the user interface. Building out an app? Your users won't wait for a spinner anymore. They see the file structure appear right as your agent client streams it into React or Next.js.
Track and Create Tasks
Need to update bug tracking in real-time? You call `create_task` to open a new issue, or use `list_tasks` to show the current status of existing ones. This keeps your front end fresh. This is perfect for live dashboards. The user sees 'Task created' appear instantly without having to refresh anything on their screen.
Get Organization Details
The `get_organization` tool pulls core organizational details into your application state. You can use this data immediately after the user authenticates via OAuth. This makes sure your whole product feels connected to zipBoard without any manual API polling. The data just flows in when needed.
