Project Management for Vercel AI SDK

The `create_project` tool lets you build new projects instantly, requiring just a portal ID and the project name. Need to organize tasks? You can run `list_projects` first to find all existing portals, then use that ID to list out every active project in Zoho Projects. This means your UI client doesn't wait for a whole batch of data. It streams results live; you see the new projects and task lists appearing on screen as they come through.

Handling Tasks with Vercel AI SDK

Use `list_tasks` to pull every single task within a specific project, giving your user client immediate visibility into current workloads. If you spot an outdated detail, the `update_task` tool lets your agent fix it right then and there. It's designed for real-time feeds. When your user runs this against Zoho Projects, they see the task list updating instantly—no loading spinner needed.

Discovering Project Details with Vercel AI SDK

The `list_milestones` tool shows you every key milestone attached to a project. You can also check out who's on the team by calling `list_project_users`. These calls give your agent all the metadata it needs up front. Your AI client uses this data to make decisions right in the browser. It ensures that when the user sees the output from this MCP Server, they get accurate project context immediately.

Setup guide

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

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