How to Use the Zoho CRM Contacts MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How does the Vercel AI SDK handle searching Zoho CRM Contacts?

You call zohosearchcontacts directly. The MCP Server returns a list of contacts matching your query, including their name and linked account. It's fast because it streams results to your UI.

Q: Can the Vercel AI SDK update information on Zoho CRM Contacts?

Yes. You use zohoupdatecontact when you need to correct a phone number or change an email for an existing contact record. The tool only changes specified fields, so it’s safe.

Q: Does the Vercel AI SDK handle lead qualification for Zoho CRM Contacts?

Absolutely. When you qualify a prospect, zohoconvertlead handles all three steps: Lead becomes Contact, and new Account/Deal records are created in Zoho CRM Contacts.

Q: How do I find all related accounts for specific Zoho CRM Contacts using the Vercel AI SDK?

Use zohorelatedrecords. You specify the parent module (like 'Accounts') and the record ID, and it pulls every linked contact or deal associated with that account.

Search and Verify Contact Details via MCP Server

Need to find a specific person? Use `zoho_search_contacts` to search by name or email across Zoho CRM Contacts. It returns the contact's name, phone number, linked account, and owner. You can also run `zoho_get_contact(id)` to get every bit of detail about an individual, including department, title, custom fields, and mailing addresses.

Manage the Full Lead-to-Contact Lifecycle

The critical step is converting a raw lead into a usable contact. Call `zoho_convert_lead` when a prospect qualifies; this automatically moves data from Leads to new Contact, Account, and Deal records. If you just need to find the top-of-funnel prospects, use `zoho_search_leads`. This tool pulls name, email, company, and lead source info before conversion happens.

Map Out Related Business Records

Don't just get a single record—get the whole picture. The `zoho_related_records` tool lets you map out connections like retrieving all contacts associated with an account, or seeing what deals are tied to a specific contact. This is perfect for when your agent needs to answer questions like, 'Who works at this company?' or 'What notes do they have attached?'

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 CRM Contacts transactions",
