Key Capabilities
Render PDFs directly in your Vercel AI SDK UI
Watch PDFs compile in real-time as your agent feeds raw markup to `convert_html_to_pdf` and streams the base64 output straight to your React components. Instead of forcing users to wait for a spinning wheel, this setup displays document previews dynamically as the data arrives. Run `convert_markdown_to_pdf` to instantly turn text blocks into styled documents on the edge. Because Vercel AI SDK supports direct tool streaming, your application renders these generated files without blocking the main browser thread.
Capture and display live web screenshots
When your agent needs to analyze or display a live web page inside your Svelte or Vue application, it calls `screenshot_url` to grab a clean image. The Vercel AI SDK handles this payload natively, letting you pipe the base64 image data directly into an image tag on the client side. Capture local layouts with `screenshot_html` to check visual states before committing to a final document. This gives your users immediate visual feedback on dynamic HTML layouts without any backend polling.
Edit PDF metadata on the edge
Manage document properties on the fly inside Edge Functions using `write_pdf_metadata` to tag files before they hit your storage buckets. The Vercel AI SDK coordinates this step instantly, allowing your agent to update author info, titles, or custom fields based on user conversations. By calling `read_pdf_metadata` first, your agent inspects existing files to check compliance or extract structural details. This keeps your edge routes lightweight because you don't need to load heavy node-specific PDF parsing libraries.

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
new URL("https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
);
const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport });
const tools = await mcpClient.tools();
const { text } = await generateText({
model: openai("gpt-4o"),
tools,
prompt: "List recent Gotenberg transactions",
});
console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();Independent Platform Disclaimer: Vinkius is an independent platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, verified by, or otherwise authorized by Gotenberg.
