How to Use the Zoho Notebook MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How can I list notebooks and then stream notecard details to my UI using Zoho Notebook with Vercel AI SDK?

First, call listnotebooks to get all the available IDs. Then, pass one of those IDs to listnotecards. The streaming nature of the MCP Server means you'll see the notecard metadata appear in your UI piece by piece.

Q: Does the Vercel AI SDK support creating new notebooks and showing the result immediately?

Yep. You call createnotebook, and because of the streaming transport, you can show the newly created notebook ID or basic details to the user instantly in your frontend.

Q: What if I need to search for a specific note? How does Zoho Notebook interact with Vercel AI SDK?

You use searchnotecards. You pass the required notebook ID, and the results stream back. This lets you build live-filtering UIs where the cards appear as the user types.

Q: Can I delete a note or a whole notebook using Zoho Notebook with Vercel AI SDK?

Absolutely. You call deletenotecard or deletenotebook. The action is completed, and you can stream a success confirmation back to the user.

Q: If I'm tracking changes in Zoho Notebook with Vercel AI SDK, what specific data type should I expect?

You'll primarily be dealing with Notebook IDs and individual Notecard objects. These are the core identifiers you need to pass around when creating or updating content.

Building Live Experiences with the MCP Server

When you use the `ai-sdk`, users see data populating the screen as it happens. You don't show a loading spinner waiting for an API call to finish. You just call tools like `list_notebooks` or `get_notecard`. The results stream directly into your React or Next.js frontend, making the whole experience feel instant and responsive.

Managing Zoho Notebook Content in Real Time

Need to build a widget that lets users quickly organize ideas? Use `create_notebook` to set up the structure, then use `list_notecards` with a specific notebook ID. The stream handles fetching and displaying those cards immediately. It's perfect for showing users their current project status without delay.

Updating Notes through the AI SDK

Suppose you build an interface where users refine a draft note. You can capture that change using `update_notecard`. Because of streaming, the user sees the updated card content appear in real time as your agent makes the API call. This direct feedback loop is what separates a good app from a great one.

Setup guide

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

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