Which package does this use?

@ai-sdk/mcp, with the createMCPClient function. HTTP and SSE transports are supported, with optional headers and OAuth via an authProvider.

If I connect Perplexity AI to my app, can I use the same connection in Claude or ChatGPT later?

Yes, and that's the point: the connection is yours, not the app's. You paste the same link in any AI you use, and there's nothing new to set up or pay again. Connect a new AI and Perplexity AI is already there.

Do I need to hand my Perplexity AI password to my app?

Never. You sign in once at Vinkius, and we keep your logins encrypted and away from your AI. Your code only ever sees the link, and you can remove it whenever you want.

What can my app actually do with Perplexity AI?

Whatever the Connector covers: check data, run actions and bring answers back. Pass the tools to streamText and the model picks the right one. The Connector page lists every capability, with real examples you can copy.

The tools don't show up. What do I check?

Confirm the url matches your link exactly and that the Connector is active in your Vinkius account, then call tools() again. A deactivated Connector stops responding.

Can I remove the access later?

Anytime. Close the client and remove the tools from your call, and Perplexity AI leaves your app. Your Vinkius account keeps the connection and its history either way, ready for the next AI.

Connecting Perplexity AI to the Vercel AI SDK

About a minute, in your code

1Install the MCP client: npm install @ai-sdk/mcp, and import createMCPClient from '@ai-sdk/mcp'.
2Create the client with your Perplexity AI link as the transport: { type: 'http', url: '<your link>' }. The link above is the URL.
3Call client.tools() and pass the tools to streamText. Perplexity AI is now part of your AI SDK app.

Vercel AI SDK + Perplexity AI

One chat. Your Perplexity AI, live inside Vercel AI SDK.

Real prompts, answered with live data. This is the kind of interaction your app will have once the client is in.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

These prompts ship with the Perplexity AI Connector. Once yours is connected, they work in your sessions.

The full capability set, the prompts and the observed latency live on the Perplexity AI Connector page.

Mission Control

See everything your Vercel AI SDK agents do in Perplexity AI.

When your app runs a tool in Perplexity AI, it happens inside your code: you see the output, but not the request itself, what data it carried, or whether a rule was broken.

Now every move lands on your screen.

Every execution is recorded, enforced, and shown to you: what ran, what it returned, what was blocked, and why.

Request Volume & Latency

requests latency

Every request your Vercel AI SDK agents make through Perplexity AI is logged, enforced and auditable. See how AI Governance turns agent activity into accountability, and what it means for your Perplexity AI workflows.

What sets us apart

It's not just the Connector that stays safe. Everything your agents do through it is.

Connecting Perplexity AI to your AI is step one. But an open line between your agents and Perplexity AI is only half the story: without protection, every action they take runs unguarded.

That's why protection doesn't stop at the door.

Every action your agents take through the Connector runs inside our infrastructure: signed activity logs, automatic key rotation, spending limits that pause instead of surprise, and a sandbox that isolates every execution.

Tamper Proof Activity Log

Every request your agents make in Perplexity AI is recorded and signed, so any change to the history becomes detectable.

Automatic Key Rotation

We rotate security keys every 24 hours. Your Perplexity AI connection stays protected without any manual work.

Spending Protection

We enforce the spending limit you choose and pause actions that exceed it until approval is received. Your Perplexity AI actions never surprise you.

Isolated Sandbox

Every execution through Perplexity AI runs isolated, with 34+ security rules covering memory, CPU, network access, file handling and execution.

Security Event Streaming

Security events flow to Splunk, Datadog or your own webhook, so Perplexity AI activity lands in the tools you already rely on.

Instant Resume

Idle connections resume in 3 to 5 ms while preserving their state, keeping your Vercel AI SDK sessions responsive.

Malicious File Protection

We detect compressed files designed to exhaust system resources and block them before they ever reach Perplexity AI.

Credential Validation

We test your Perplexity AI credentials before saving them. Invalid credentials are rejected instead of being stored.

Separate Usage Limits

Usage stays isolated per account, so activity in one connection never consumes another account's allowance.

One Connector, one link, and the whole operation is protected. Not just the connection: everything your agents do through it.

These guarantees are not add-ons: they are the infrastructure every Perplexity AI connection runs on. Read how our infrastructure protects everything your Vercel AI SDK agents do, end to end.
