How to Use the Zoho Billing MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I check Zoho Billing data using Zoho Billing and Vercel AI SDK?

You simply call listinvoices via your mcpClient. The result streams to the UI, allowing you to display line-item details in real time. You don't handle chunking or loading states; the client takes care of that.

Q: Does Vercel AI SDK support listing multiple Zoho Billing reports?

Yes. Since the results stream, you can call listcustomers followed by listprojects. The data from both calls will appear sequentially in your UI, giving users a complete picture of billing records.

Q: What kind of payments history can I access with Zoho Billing and Vercel AI SDK?

The listpayments tool retrieves the payment record data. Because it streams live, you show the user a chronological feed of transactions as they come in, which is much better than showing them one massive table.

Q: If I need to fetch specific customer details, what do I use with Zoho Billing and Vercel AI SDK?

Use retrievecustomer. This tool gets all the necessary customer data. Since it’s streaming, you can display different sections of the profile (contact info, billing address) as they arrive.

Displaying Real-Time Billing Records

When you call `list_invoices`, the data streams directly into your React component. Users see invoice details appear piece by piece, avoiding the dreaded loading spinner. This real-time flow works for everything from listing all products (`list_products`) to checking customer status using `retrieve_customer`. Your client builds user-facing tools that feel fast and responsive.

Monitoring Financial Events in Real Time

Need to show users recent system changes? The `get_events` tool streams audit triggers immediately. This is ideal for dashboards where transparency matters. You can build out a live feed of activity, showing when credits were issued via `list_credit_notes` or when payments came in using `list_payments`. It’s all visible to the end user.

Displaying Subscription and Pricing Information

Show customers exactly what they're paying for. Use `list_plans` and `list_subscriptions` to stream current pricing models right into your UI. This makes building product pages or account dashboards simple. You can pair this with `list_estimates` so users see both their quoted price and the actual subscription details instantly.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Billing 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 Zoho Billing 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 Zoho Billing transactions",
});

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