Frequently asked questions
How can I filter results to find specific documents in a collection?
You can use the find_many tool and provide a JSON string in the where parameter. This follows Payload's standard query syntax, allowing you to filter by fields, operators (like equals, contains), and nested logic.
Can I control how much related data is returned in a query?
Yes! Most query tools like find_many, find_by_id, and get_global include a depth parameter. Increasing this number will populate more levels of nested relationships.
Does this server support updating global settings like site headers?
Absolutely. Use the get_global tool to retrieve current data and update_global to modify it. This is perfect for managing site-wide configurations without leaving your AI assistant.
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.
