Key Capabilities
Zero-Latency Calendar Feeds via Vercel AI SDK
The `get_availability` tool fetches open calendar slots directly from the Picktime API to feed your streaming UI via this MCP Server. Your Vercel AI SDK application renders these free slots in real-time as the model processes the query, bypassing slow API loading spinners. You pass this tool directly into `streamText` to let your agent output interactive booking widgets instantly. The client uses the raw JSON payload to update the calendar state on the fly.
Direct Booking Inspections in React
The `get_booking_details` tool retrieves customer contact info, payment statuses, and specific staff assignments directly from your scheduling database. Your Vercel AI SDK frontend displays these details inside conversational UI cards the moment the model calls the function. By using `list_bookings`, the agent filters appointments by date range to populate custom dashboard views. This eliminates the need for manual API routing because the SDK handles the data transfer securely at the edge.
Live Location and Staff Mapping via MCP Server
The `list_locations` tool maps independent business branches and resolves timezone boundaries before your agent schedules an appointment. Your Vercel AI SDK client uses this data to align user booking requests with local branch operations. Once the location is set, `list_staff` pulls active employee rosters and working hours to prevent scheduling conflicts. Your UI updates dynamically, showing only the staff qualified for the selected service.

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

model: openai("gpt-4o"),
tools,
prompt: "List recent Picktime transactions",
});
console.log(text);
