How to Use the Snowflake MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: What is the best way to display Snowflake database lists when using Vercel AI SDK?

Stream the output of listdatabases directly. The Vercel AI SDK allows you to stream results into your React or Next.js components, so users see the full list populate without waiting for a single large chunk.

Q: How can I use Vercel AI SDK to audit Snowflake roles and users?

You can call listroles and listusers through your mcpClient.tools(). The resulting list of roles or users streams into the UI, letting you build a real-time security dashboard that feels snappy.

Q: If I run an audit query against Snowflake, can Vercel AI SDK show me when it's done?

Yes. Use getstatementstatus. You stream the status updates (e.g., 'running,' 'completed') into your UI. This gives the user immediate feedback on whether their long-running query is still active in Snowflake.

Audit Database Inventory

When a user needs to know what databases exist in Snowflake, the `list_databases` tool handles it. Using the Vercel AI SDK, you stream this list instantly into your frontend component—no loading spinner needed. The data appears as soon as it’s ready. This capability is useful for building dynamic UIs where users click a database name and see the result appear immediately in real-time.

Check Table Schema Live

The `describe_table` tool pulls schema details from Snowflake, and we stream those results directly into your application. This is perfect for building a data explorer where users see the column names and types populating live as they select a table. If you integrate this with an Edge Function, the whole process—from API call to UI update—remains fast and responsive.

Track Statement Status

Monitoring long-running queries is key. The `get_statement_status` tool checks Snowflake's running operations, and we stream the status updates into your client. Your users see if a query succeeded or if it's still processing in real time. This provides immediate feedback for complex data processes that take more than a few seconds to complete.

Setup guide

Set up Snowflake 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 Snowflake 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 Snowflake transactions",
});

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

Yes. Use `get_statement_status`. You stream the status updates (e.g., 'running,' 'completed') into your UI. This gives the user immediate feedback on whether their long-running query is still active in Snowflake.

It can, by listing roles and schemas. You retrieve the list of all security containers via `list_roles` and `list_schemas`, streaming these details to your dashboard so you don't have to check them manually.

It primarily deals with metadata, including database names, schema names, user identifiers (`list_users`), and role definitions (`list_roles`). These are all plain strings representing the structure of your Snowflake environment.
