Frequently asked questions
Can my AI send SMS and track delivery status?
Yes. Use send_sms to deliver a text message, then get_sms_status with the returned message ID to check delivery confirmation in real time.
How does phone verification work through the AI?
Two steps: first, send_verification sends an OTP code to the user's phone. Then, check_verification validates the code the user submits. Both operations run through the 8x8 Verify API.
Can I send messages through WhatsApp and other chat channels?
Yes. The send_chat_message tool supports WhatsApp, Viber, and LINE. Just specify the channel, recipient identifier, and message text.
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
