You should use the get_variant tool with the specific Variant ID. This provides the most granular data including price, stock availability, and specific attributes.
Does this server provide measurements for the products?
Yes, the get_product_sizes tool returns the complete size guide for a product ID, including measurements in both imperial (inches) and metric (cm) units.
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
