Real-time document generation

Trigger `generate_pdf` directly from your React or Next.js components to kick off asynchronous document creation. Your frontend handles the state transition immediately without blocking the main thread. Once the request fires, use `check_pdf_status` to monitor the progress. Your users get live feedback as the document moves from pending to ready.

Manage templates with MCP Server

Call `list_templates` to pull your available HTML/CSS layouts into your edge functions. This lets you populate forms dynamically based on user selections in your UI. If you need to verify a specific layout before rendering, `get_template` provides the schema details you need. It keeps your document logic synced with your database records.

Retrieve and audit files

Use `get_pdf_details` to grab the final download URL for the generated file. You can then inject this link straight into your dashboard for instant user access. For audit trails, `list_generated_documents` gives you a clear history of what your AI client has produced. It ensures you have a record of every invoice or report created.

Setup guide

Set up PDFMonkey MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
ai + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies

Run npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdk plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Create the Streamable HTTP transport

Use StreamableHTTPClientTransport with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and use tools

Call mcpClient.tools() to auto-discover all PDFMonkey tools. Pass them directly to generateText() or streamText() — no manual schema definitions needed.
4

Works with any model provider

Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK provider — Anthropic, Google, Mistral. The MCP tools work identically across all supported models.

index.ts

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 PDFMonkey transactions",
});

console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();

Common questions about PDFMonkey MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Install the MCP client package and initialize it with the server endpoint. You then pass the tools into your `streamText` configuration to let the agent trigger generation workflows.

Yes, the server communicates over standard HTTP. It runs fine in edge environments as long as your network allows the outbound request to the API.

You can poll the status using the provided tools. Since the generation is asynchronous, your agent should check the status periodically until the file is ready.

The server only processes the JSON payloads you send for document population. It does not store your raw business data outside of the required document metadata.

The tool returns an error status. You should implement a retry logic in your agent to check the status again or log the failure to your backend.
