Displaying real-time CRM data

When you call the MCP Server, data appears right in the browser. Your agent streams results instantly; no loading spinner needed. You can use tools like `list_contacts` or `get_deal` and show the user exactly when that information pops up. This makes your Zoho CRM integration feel fast and live.

Handling multiple data lists

Need to summarize a sales report? You can execute several calls at once. Just combine tools like `list_leads`, `get_lead`, and `list_accounts` into one prompt. This lets your user see the full scope of Zoho CRM data, from lead lists to account details, appearing piece by piece.

Listing sales activities

You can track a client's history with specific tools. Running `list_calls` gives you call records, while `get_contact` pulls key personal info. It’s perfect for building dashboards that show the full interaction timeline within Zoho CRM.

Setup guide

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

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