Real-Time File Metadata Fetching for ai-sdk

Need to show the user what's inside a folder without a slow loader? You can call `get_file_metadata` and stream the results directly into your React UI. This means when your agent client asks for details on a file, the data appears in real-time. Your users see the AI working live; they don't wait for a massive loading spinner to disappear.

Managing Zoho WorkDrive via MCP Server with ai-sdk

Build full file management features, like creating new folders using `create_folder` or renaming files with `rename_file`. The streaming nature of the Vercel AI SDK makes these actions feel immediate. It's perfect for user-facing tools. When a button is clicked, the action executes and the result streams back to the client right away.

Listing Team Folders in Your UI with ai-sdk

The `list_team_folders` tool lets your agent check available workspaces across Zoho WorkDrive. You can stream this list of team folders back to the user interface as it's retrieved. This is vital for giving users immediate visibility into organizational structure without bogging down the client-side experience.

Setup guide

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

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