Live Deal Status Updates in Your App

You get complete details for a specific opportunity using `zoho_get_deal`. This lets you pull up all custom fields, notes, and history instantly. Because the Vercel AI SDK streams results, your user sees the full deal data populating the UI without a loading spinner. Need to know where a lead stands? You can also run `zoho_search_deals` to find active opportunities across different stages—Qualification, Proposal, or Negotiation.

Managing Quotes and Pricing Proposals

When you need to generate a formal price proposal, use the `zoho_create_quote` tool. This function requires a subject and links the quote to both a deal and an account while setting its validity period. You'll see the resulting Quote ID stream back immediately into your UI. If you just need basic pricing info, running `zoho_search_products` shows product names, unit prices, and SKUs right in the client's viewport.

Building the Full Sales Lifecycle Flow

The core of the MCP Server lets you manage the entire sales cycle. You can kick off a new opportunity with `zoho_create_deal`, setting the initial stage, amount, and closing date. This action streams back success confirmation to your front-end. Later on, if negotiations progress, advancing the deal stage or updating the final amount uses `zoho_update_deal`. These changes update the record live for the user.

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project

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.

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 Sales transactions",
});

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