Key Capabilities
Zero-delay document parsing in Vercel AI SDK
Your users hate loading spinners. When they drop a PDF into your app, this MCP Server lets your agent immediately trigger `extract_sync` to grab raw data. Instead of waiting for a slow backend job to complete, the Vercel AI SDK streams the parsed fields directly onto the screen as they are identified. You build this by pairing `extract_sync_with_config` with streamText. The agent reads the incoming file bytes, matches them against your document schemas, and feeds the resulting JSON chunks straight into your UI components in real time.
Instant schema creation for Next.js forms
Stop writing manual form parsers for random tax documents or invoices. This integration lets your agent call `create_document_type` and `create_configuration` on the fly when a user uploads an unfamiliar layout. The agent defines the target schema, registers the new type, and prepares the parser without a single redeploy. Once the configuration is active, you can call `publish_configuration` to push it to production immediately. Your Vercel AI SDK application then handles future uploads of that document type instantly, bypassing manual mapping code entirely.
On-demand spreadsheet generation at the edge
Running heavy data conversion in Edge Functions used to be a pain. By offloading the heavy lifting to this MCP Server, your agent can call `generate_csv` or `generate_excel` to bundle parsed document data into downloadable files without exhausting your Vercel execution limits. The agent coordinates the export by fetching previous document runs with `list_extractions` and compiling them directly. Your users get their spreadsheets in seconds, and your edge middleware stays light and fast.
Set up Sensible MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
-
ai+@modelcontextprotocol/sdkpackages - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install dependencies
Run
npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdkplus your preferred model provider (e.g.@ai-sdk/openai). - 2
Create the Streamable HTTP transport
Use
StreamableHTTPClientTransportwith 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 Sensible tools. Pass them directly togenerateText()orstreamText()— 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.
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 Sensible 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 Sensible.
