Real-time subscriber management with Vercel AI SDK

Trigger `add_subscriber` or `update_subscriber` actions directly from your frontend components. Your users see the confirmation state change instantly as the SDK processes the response. This MCP Server pushes status updates to your UI without manual refresh. You get clean, reactive state management using standard hooks.

Track conversion events via Vercel AI SDK

Fire `track_conversion` events triggered by user interactions in your React or Next.js app. The SDK handles the heavy lifting of mapping these calls to your campaign logic. Your application logic remains focused on the view layer. The server handles the ReferralHero API handshake while your client manages the user feedback loop.

Fetch live campaign metrics with Vercel AI SDK

Use `get_leaderboard` and `get_list` to pull current campaign data into your dashboard. The data streams into your interface as soon as it hits the wire. Building out a custom rewards page becomes a simple fetch operation. You connect your UI to these tools and let the SDK handle the transport.

Setup guide

Set up ReferralHero 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 ReferralHero 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 ReferralHero transactions",
});

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

Common questions about ReferralHero MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Install the MCP client package and point it to your Vinkius endpoint URL. You then pass the tools into your generateText call to start executing commands.

Yes. Because the SDK supports streaming tool results, any data returned by the server appears in your component state immediately.

Your subscriber emails and point balances are transmitted over encrypted tunnels. We never store your raw data in the transport layer.

The server returns an error object that your client code must catch. You should implement standard try-catch blocks to handle these responses gracefully.

You only need to provide your endpoint token in the configuration header. The client handles the rest of the authentication handshake.
