How to Use the Zoho Invoice MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: Can I use Zoho Invoice data in my Next.js frontend with Vercel AI SDK?

Absolutely. You'll call the MCP Server tools using mcpClient within an Edge Function, and the results—whether it’s a new contact from createcontact or a list of invoices—stream directly into your Next.js page.

Q: Does Vercel AI SDK support running Zoho Invoice actions client-side?

Yes, the design supports this. You can call functions like getinvoice and stream the data results to simulate instant updates on your frontend, making complex billing interactions feel seamless.

Q: If I update a contact via the Vercel AI SDK, how is that shown?

The updatecontact tool runs against Zoho Invoice, and the resulting data—the updated name or details—streams back to your client. You'll see the changes populate in your UI immediately after the action completes.

Perplexity

Fetch and display invoice details instantly.

When you call `get_invoice`, the Vercel AI SDK streams specific billing records directly into your React or Next.js frontend. The user sees that data appear in real-time, eliminating the loading spinner delay. This immediate feedback is critical for building customer-facing apps. You can display detailed invoice information using `get_invoice` without ever hitting a stale API endpoint.

Manage and view contact lists live.

Using `list_contacts`, you pull all necessary client data from Zoho Invoice, and the Vercel AI SDK streams this array directly into your UI. This means your user sees the full list update as it happens. Need to check a specific person? Calling `get_contact` populates fields instantly in your dashboard. The whole flow feels native because the data stream is client-side.

Build billing logic with real-time updates.

The MCP Server handles all core Zoho Invoice functions, like running `create_invoice` or `delete_invoice`. The Vercel AI SDK then streams the success status or new record ID right into your web application. You get that immediate confirmation feedback. If you're building an admin panel, using this capability lets you show users exactly when a resource changes hands—for example, confirming an invoice deletion via `delete_invoice` in real-time.

Setup guide

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

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