Key Capabilities
Real-time highlight retrieval
Feed your library directly into your UI by calling `list_highlights` through your streamText pipeline. Your users see their saved content populate the screen instantly as the agent fetches it. Stop waiting for batch processing. Because this MCP server talks to the Vercel AI SDK, every result flows straight into your React components without extra state management.
Dynamic book management
Use `list_books` or `search_books` to let your agent organize or filter your collection on the fly. It pushes structured data into your frontend, letting you build custom dashboards that update while the agent thinks. This keeps your application logic clean. Your agent handles the data discovery, and your UI handles the display, creating a tight loop between your knowledge base and your interface.
Interactive note creation
Trigger `create_highlight` or `update_highlight` directly from your chat input. The agent processes natural language requests and mirrors them to your Readwise account. It removes the friction of switching tabs. Your users stay in your app while the agent performs the heavy lifting, ensuring your notes stay current.

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 Readwise 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 Readwise.
