The Vercel AI SDK is a TypeScript library for building AI-powered applications. It provides tools for creating agents that can use external services and maintain conversation state. Key features include: - streamText: Core function for streaming responses with real-time tool support - MCP Client: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol via @ai-sdk/mcp - Step Counting: Control multi-step tool execution with stopWhen: stepCountIs() - OpenAI Provider: Native integration with OpenAI models ## What is the Beaconstac MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Beaconstac MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Beaconstac account. It provides structured and secure access to your QR code and proximity marketing assets, so your agent can perform actions like creating QR templates, managing places and tags, and organizing collections on your behalf. - QR code template creation and management: Easily instruct your agent to create new QR code templates or delete outdated ones, streamlining your marketing campaigns. - Place and location asset organization: Let your agent register new places or list all your locations for precise proximity marketing management. - Bulk QR code collection browsing: Have your agent search, filter, and organize your bulk QR code collections to keep assets accessible and sorted. - Tagging and categorization automation: Direct your agent to create or delete tags, making it simple to categorize and organize QR codes and related objects. - Organization and user management: Enable your agent to list organizations, onboard new users, or manage access for streamlined account administration. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `BEACONSTAC_CREATE_PLACE` | Create Place | Tool to create a new place for location-based assets. use when you need to register a new physical place under an organization. | | `BEACONSTAC_CREATE_QR_TEMPLATE` | Create QR Template | Tool to create a new qr code template. use when you need reusable design presets for qr codes. | | `BEACONSTAC_CREATE_TAG` | Create Tag | Tool to create a new tag for organizing qr codes and other objects. use when you need to categorize qr codes under a specific organization. | | `BEACONSTAC_CREATE_USER` | Create User | Tool to create a new user. use when onboarding a new user under your organization (reseller plan and above). | | `BEACONSTAC_DELETE_QR_CODE` | Delete QR Code | Tool to delete a qr code by its id. use when you need to remove an existing qr code after validation. | | `BEACONSTAC_DELETE_QR_TEMPLATE` | Delete QR Code Template | Tool to delete a qr code template by its id. use when you need to permanently remove a qr code template that is no longer needed. | | `BEACONSTAC_DELETE_TAG` | Delete Tag | Tool to delete a tag by its id. use when you need to remove an existing tag after validation. | | `BEACONSTAC_LIST_BULK_QR_CODES` | List Bulk QR Code Collections | Tool to list bulk qr code collections. use when you need to filter, search, or order your bulk qr code collections. | | `BEACONSTAC_LIST_ORGANIZATIONS` | List Organizations | Tool to list organizations. use when you need to fetch all organizations accessible to the authenticated account. | | `BEACONSTAC_LIST_PLACES` | List Places | Tool to list your places. use when you need to browse or search your account's places with filtering and ordering. | | `BEACONSTAC_LIST_QR_TEMPLATES` | List QR Templates | Tool to list all qr code templates in your account. use when you need to filter and paginate templates. | | `BEACONSTAC_LIST_TAGS` | List Tags | Tool to list all tags with optional filtering and pagination. use when you need to browse or search tags in your account. | | `BEACONSTAC_LIST_USERS` | List Users | Tool to list all users with optional filtering, searching, ordering, and pagination. use when you need to retrieve user records across your organization. | | `BEACONSTAC_PERIOD_OVERVIEW` | Get Period Overview | Tool to get period overview analytics for products including counts, impressions, and conversion percentage. use after specifying the product type and time interval. | | `BEACONSTAC_PRODUCT_OVERVIEW` | Get Product Overview | Tool to get analytics overview for a specified product type over a given time interval. use after specifying the product type and time range to obtain summary metrics. | | `BEACONSTAC_RETRIEVE_QR_CODE` | Retrieve QR Code | Tool to retrieve details of a specific qr code by its id. use when you need to fetch or verify qr code properties after creation or update. | | `BEACONSTAC_RETRIEVE_USER` | Retrieve User | Tool to retrieve the details of an existing user by id. use when you need to fetch a user's profile after confirming its existence. | | `BEACONSTAC_UPDATE_PLACE` | Update Place | Tool to update the specified place by id. use after retrieving the place to modify its details, such as name, address, or coordinates. | | `BEACONSTAC_UPDATE_QR_CODE` | Update QR Code | Tool to update an existing qr code by its id. use when you need to modify qr code attributes; only provided fields are changed. | | `BEACONSTAC_UPDATE_TAG` | Update Tag | Tool to update an existing tag by its id. use when you need to modify a tag's name or color after confirming its id via list tags. | | `BEACONSTAC_UPDATE_USER` | Update User | Tool to update an existing user. use when you need to modify profile details or organization of a user by their id. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Beaconstac MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Beaconstac. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Beaconstac operations on your behalf through a secure, permission-based interface. With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster. ## Step-by-step Guide ### 1. Prerequisites Before you begin, make sure you have: - Node.js and npm installed - A Composio account with API key - An OpenAI API key ### 1. Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio OpenAI API Key - Go to the [OpenAI dashboard](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models, or you can connect to another model provider. - Keep the API key safe. Composio API Key - Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs). - Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key. - Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication. ### 2. Install required dependencies First, install the necessary packages for your project. What you're installing: - @ai-sdk/openai: Vercel AI SDK's OpenAI provider - @ai-sdk/mcp: MCP client for Vercel AI SDK - @composio/core: Composio SDK for tool integration - ai: Core Vercel AI SDK - dotenv: Environment variable management ```bash npm install @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp @composio/core ai dotenv ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root. What's needed: - OPENAI_API_KEY: Your OpenAI API key for GPT model access - COMPOSIO_API_KEY: Your Composio API key for tool access - COMPOSIO_USER_ID: A unique identifier for the user session ```bash OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your_user_id_here ``` ### 4. Import required modules and validate environment What's happening: - We're importing all necessary libraries including Vercel AI SDK's OpenAI provider and Composio - The dotenv/config import automatically loads environment variables - The MCP client import enables connection to Composio's tool server ```typescript import "dotenv/config"; import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai"; import { Composio } from "@composio/core"; import * as readline from "readline"; import { streamText, type ModelMessage, stepCountIs } from "ai"; import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp"; const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY; const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID; if (!process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set"); const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: composioAPIKey, }); ``` ### 5. Create Tool Router session and initialize MCP client What's happening: - We're creating a Tool Router session that gives your agent access to Beaconstac tools - The create method takes the user ID and specifies which toolkits should be available - The returned mcp object contains the URL and authentication headers needed to connect to the MCP server - This session provides access to all Beaconstac-related tools through the MCP protocol ```typescript async function main() { // Create a tool router session for the user const session = await composio.create(composioUserID!, { toolkits: ["beaconstac"], }); const mcpUrl = session.mcp.url; ``` ### 6. Connect to MCP server and retrieve tools What's happening: - We're creating an MCP client that connects to our Composio Tool Router session via HTTP - The mcp.url provides the endpoint, and mcp.headers contains authentication credentials - The type: "http" is important - Composio requires HTTP transport - tools() retrieves all available Beaconstac tools that the agent can use ```typescript const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport: { type: "http", url: mcpUrl, headers: session.mcp.headers, // Authentication headers for the Composio MCP server }, }); const tools = await mcpClient.tools(); ``` ### 7. Initialize conversation and CLI interface What's happening: - We initialize an empty messages array to maintain conversation history - A readline interface is created to accept user input from the command line - Instructions are displayed to guide the user on how to interact with the agent ```typescript let messages: ModelMessage[] = []; console.log("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n"); console.log( "Ask any questions related to beaconstac, like summarize my last 5 emails, send an email, etc... :)))\n", ); const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, prompt: "> ", }); rl.prompt(); ``` ### 8. Handle user input and stream responses with real-time tool feedback What's happening: - We use streamText instead of generateText to stream responses in real-time - toolChoice: "auto" allows the model to decide when to use Beaconstac tools - stopWhen: stepCountIs(10) allows up to 10 steps for complex multi-tool operations - onStepFinish callback displays which tools are being used in real-time - We iterate through the text stream to create a typewriter effect as the agent responds - The complete response is added to conversation history to maintain context - Errors are caught and displayed with helpful retry suggestions ```typescript rl.on("line", async (userInput: string) => { const trimmedInput = userInput.trim(); if (["exit", "quit", "bye"].includes(trimmedInput.toLowerCase())) { console.log("\nGoodbye!"); rl.close(); process.exit(0); } if (!trimmedInput) { rl.prompt(); return; } messages.push({ role: "user", content: trimmedInput }); console.log("\nAgent is thinking...\n"); try { const stream = streamText({ model: openai("gpt-5"), messages, tools, toolChoice: "auto", stopWhen: stepCountIs(10), onStepFinish: (step) => { for (const toolCall of step.toolCalls) { console.log(`[Using tool: ${toolCall.toolName}]`); } if (step.toolCalls.length > 0) { console.log(""); // Add space after tool calls } }, }); for await (const chunk of stream.textStream) { process.stdout.write(chunk); } console.log("\n\n---\n"); // Get final result for message history const response = await stream.response; if (response?.messages?.length) { messages.push(...response.messages); } } catch (error) { console.error("\nAn error occurred while talking to the agent:"); console.error(error); console.log( "\nYou can try again or restart the app if it keeps happening.\n", ); } finally { rl.prompt(); } }); rl.on("close", async () => { await mcpClient.close(); console.log("\n👋 Session ended."); process.exit(0); }); } main().catch((err) => { console.error("Fatal error:", err); process.exit(1); }); ``` ## Complete Code ```typescript import "dotenv/config"; import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai"; import { Composio } from "@composio/core"; import * as readline from "readline"; import { streamText, type ModelMessage, stepCountIs } from "ai"; import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp"; const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY; const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID; if (!process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set"); const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: composioAPIKey, }); async function main() { // Create a tool router session for the user const session = await composio.create(composioUserID!, { toolkits: ["beaconstac"], }); const mcpUrl = session.mcp.url; const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport: { type: "http", url: mcpUrl, headers: session.mcp.headers, // Authentication headers for the Composio MCP server }, }); const tools = await mcpClient.tools(); let messages: ModelMessage[] = []; console.log("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n"); console.log( "Ask any questions related to beaconstac, like summarize my last 5 emails, send an email, etc... :)))\n", ); const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, prompt: "> ", }); rl.prompt(); rl.on("line", async (userInput: string) => { const trimmedInput = userInput.trim(); if (["exit", "quit", "bye"].includes(trimmedInput.toLowerCase())) { console.log("\nGoodbye!"); rl.close(); process.exit(0); } if (!trimmedInput) { rl.prompt(); return; } messages.push({ role: "user", content: trimmedInput }); console.log("\nAgent is thinking...\n"); try { const stream = streamText({ model: openai("gpt-5"), messages, tools, toolChoice: "auto", stopWhen: stepCountIs(10), onStepFinish: (step) => { for (const toolCall of step.toolCalls) { console.log(`[Using tool: ${toolCall.toolName}]`); } if (step.toolCalls.length > 0) { console.log(""); // Add space after tool calls } }, }); for await (const chunk of stream.textStream) { process.stdout.write(chunk); } console.log("\n\n---\n"); // Get final result for message history const response = await stream.response; if (response?.messages?.length) { messages.push(...response.messages); } } catch (error) { console.error("\nAn error occurred while talking to the agent:"); console.error(error); console.log( "\nYou can try again or restart the app if it keeps happening.\n", ); } finally { rl.prompt(); } }); rl.on("close", async () => { await mcpClient.close(); console.log("\n👋 Session ended."); process.exit(0); }); } main().catch((err) => { console.error("Fatal error:", err); process.exit(1); }); ``` ## Conclusion You've successfully built a Beaconstac agent using the Vercel AI SDK with streaming capabilities! This implementation provides a powerful foundation for building AI applications with natural language interfaces and real-time feedback. Key features of this implementation: - Real-time streaming responses for a better user experience with typewriter effect - Live tool execution feedback showing which tools are being used as the agent works - Dynamic tool loading through Composio's Tool Router with secure authentication - Multi-step tool execution with configurable step limits (up to 10 steps) - Comprehensive error handling for robust agent execution - Conversation history maintenance for context-aware responses You can extend this further by adding custom error handling, implementing specific business logic, or integrating additional Composio toolkits to create multi-app workflows. ## How to build Beaconstac MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/langchain) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Metaads](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads) - Metaads is Meta's official Ads API that lets you manage, analyze, and optimize your Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns.

With a standalone Beaconstac MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Beaconstac tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Beaconstac and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Vercel AI SDK v6? Yes, you can. Vercel AI SDK v6 fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Beaconstac tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Beaconstac while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Beaconstac scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Beaconstac data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
