Key Capabilities
Stream Live Address Autocomplete with Vercel AI SDK
Stop making users wait for location lookups to resolve behind a loading spinner. When you pair the Vercel AI SDK with this MCP Server, your Next.js frontend streams suggestions live using `autocomplete` as the user types. This means your agent can render interactive maps or address dropdowns instantly on the edge. The SDK handles the raw JSON payload from `validate_address` and feeds it straight to your UI components. Your users get immediate feedback on address corrections without a single page refresh or heavy backend roundtrip.
Real-Time Routing Matrices on the Edge
Map out complex driver routes directly inside your edge functions using `calculate_routing_matrix`. This integration lets your AI client calculate travel distances for multiple coordinates and stream the raw transit times straight to a React dashboard. By using the Vercel AI SDK's streaming capabilities, you can render live route updates with `calculate_route_distance` as the calculations happen. No more blocking the main thread while waiting for heavy geographical matrix operations to finish.
Instant IP and Geofence Context
Pull instant spatial context during live chat sessions using `ip_geocode` to detect where your user is connecting from. The Vercel AI SDK feeds this geographical context directly to your LLM, allowing it to trigger location-specific behaviors on the fly. You can then use `search_geofences` to check if the user is inside a specific delivery zone. The results stream back to the client immediately, letting your application update its UI state without lag.

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.
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 Radar 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 Radar.
