Frequently asked questions
How can I find detailed information about a specific NASA project if I have its ID?
You can use the get_project tool by providing the specific projectId. The agent will return comprehensive metadata including the project's description, status, and lead organizations.
Is it possible to search for active funding opportunities for space technology?
Yes! Use the search_opportunities tool with your specific criteria. You can also use list_opportunities to see all current funding calls available in the TechPort system.
Can I see the entire NASA technology taxonomy structure?
Absolutely. Use the get_taxonomy_tree tool to retrieve the full hierarchical structure of NASA's technology areas, which helps in understanding how different projects are categorized.
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.
createMCPClient is not a function
