Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Diffbot API Token?
Log in to your Diffbot account and navigate to the Dashboard or Manage Tokens section to copy your unique access token.
What is DQL and how can I use it?
DQL (Diffbot Query Language) allows you to filter the Knowledge Graph. Use the search_knowledge_graph tool with queries like type:Organization industries:"AI".
Can I extract comments from articles?
Yes! The extract_article_data tool has an optional discussion parameter. Set it to true to retrieve structured comment threads if available.
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.
