## What is Vercel AI SDK?

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 Shotstack MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Shotstack MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Shotstack account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful video, image, and audio automation features—so your agent can create dynamic media content, edit assets, manage rendering jobs, and retrieve results at scale on your behalf.
- Automated video and image generation: Let your agent assemble and render videos or images programmatically using templates, custom assets, and dynamic data.
- Media editing and composition: Enable your agent to cut, trim, overlay, and combine media clips—adding text, transitions, or audio tracks as needed.
- Batch rendering and job management: Have your agent submit, track, and manage multiple rendering jobs, so you can scale creative automation for campaigns or client deliverables.
- Asset and template organization: Allow your agent to upload, list, and organize reusable templates and media assets, keeping your creative workflow streamlined.
- Result retrieval and download: Automatically fetch completed renders and download media files, making finished content instantly available for distribution or review.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SHOTSTACK_CREATE_TEMPLATE` | Create Template | Tool to create a new template for video editing. Use when you want to save a reusable timeline configuration as a template. Template changes do not retroactively affect past renders. |
| `SHOTSTACK_CREATE_TEMPLATE2` | Create Template (v2) | Tool to save an Edit as a re-usable template. Templates can be retrieved and modified before rendering. Use when you want to create a template with merge fields for dynamic content. |
| `SHOTSTACK_DELETE_INGESTED_MEDIA` | Delete Ingested Media | Tool to delete an ingested media asset. Use when you've confirmed the ingest ID and need to remove the file from Shotstack storage. |
| `SHOTSTACK_DELETE_TEMPLATE2` | Delete Template | Tool to delete a specific Shotstack template by its ID. Use when you need to remove a template permanently. |
| `SHOTSTACK_DELETE_WORKFLOW` | Delete Shotstack Workflow | Tool to delete a specific Shotstack workflow. Use when you need to permanently remove a workflow after confirming its ID. |
| `SHOTSTACK_FETCH_SOURCE` | Fetch Source | Tool to fetch a remote media file and store it as a source asset. Operation is asynchronous — poll SHOTSTACK_GET_INGEST_STATUS or SHOTSTACK_INSPECT_MEDIA until the asset is ready before passing it to SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO or other downstream tools. Use when you need to ingest a file before rendering. |
| `SHOTSTACK_GET_ASSETS` | Get Asset | Tool to fetch details of a hosted asset by its unique identifier. Use when you need to retrieve information about videos, images, audio files, thumbnails, or poster images hosted on Shotstack's CDN. |
| `SHOTSTACK_GET_ASSETS_RENDER` | Get Assets by Render ID | Tool to retrieve hosted assets by render ID. Use when you need to fetch one or more files (video, thumbnail, poster image) generated by a specific render job. |
| `SHOTSTACK_GET_RENDER_CALLBACK` | Get Render Callback | Tool to retrieve the webhook/callback URL configuration for a specific render job. Returns only callback settings (URL, method, headers), not render status or output URLs — use a separate render-status check to obtain final results. |
| `SHOTSTACK_GET_RENDER_STATUS` | Get Render Status | Tool to retrieve the current status and details of a Shotstack render job by render ID. Use when polling a render until done or failed, typically after creating a render with SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO. |
| `SHOTSTACK_GET_SOURCE` | Get Source Details | Tool to fetch the details of a specific source asset. Use when you need to inspect a source after uploading, check its status, or diagnose ingest/render failures—such as unsupported codecs, corrupt files, or bad URLs—before retrying. |
| `SHOTSTACK_GET_TEMPLATE` | Get Template | Tool to retrieve details of a specific template. Use when you have the ID of an existing template and need its metadata. |
| `SHOTSTACK_GET_TEMPLATE_BY_VERSION` | Get Template By Version | Tool to retrieve a template by template id and API version. Use when you need to fetch template details from a specific Edit API version. |
| `SHOTSTACK_GET_UPLOAD_URL` | Get Upload URL | Tool to request a signed URL for direct file upload to Shotstack. Use when you need to upload a file to Shotstack storage. The response returns a signed URL that you use to upload the file using a PUT request with the binary file. |
| `SHOTSTACK_INSPECT_MEDIA` | Inspect Media | Tool to inspect media metadata. Use before rendering to retrieve duration, resolution, frame rate, and format of an online media file — clip timecodes, trim points, and audio sync calculations depend on these values. Mixing assets without prior inspection can cause letterboxing, jitter, or audio sync issues in the final output. |
| `SHOTSTACK_LIST_SOURCES` | List Sources | Tool to list all source assets. Use when you need to retrieve source entries with optional pagination. |
| `SHOTSTACK_LIST_SOURCES2` | List Sources (with Environment) | Tool to list all ingested source files with environment selection. Use when you need to retrieve sources from stage (sandbox) or v1 (production) environment with optional pagination. |
| `SHOTSTACK_LIST_TEMPLATES` | List Templates | Tool to list all Shotstack templates for the account. Use after creating or updating templates to view your available templates. |
| `SHOTSTACK_LIST_TEMPLATES2` | List Templates with Environment | Tool to list all Shotstack templates for the specified environment. Use when you need to retrieve templates from a specific environment (stage or production). |
| `SHOTSTACK_POST_UPLOAD` | Request Upload URL | Tool to request a signed URL for direct file upload. Use when you need to upload a file to Shotstack storage. The response returns a signed URL that expires in one hour. |
| `SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO` | Render Video | Tool to initiate a new video render job. Use when you have defined a timeline and output settings and want to start rendering. |
| `SHOTSTACK_TRANSFER_ASSET` | Transfer Asset | Tool to transfer a file from any publicly available URL to one or more Serve API destinations. Use when you need to copy a file from an external source to Shotstack's hosting service or other configured destinations. |
| `SHOTSTACK_UPDATE_TEMPLATE` | Update Template | Tool to update an existing template by its ID. Use when you need to modify a template's name or edit configuration. Both name and complete template definition must be provided. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Shotstack MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Shotstack. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Shotstack 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 Shotstack 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 Shotstack-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: ["shotstack"],
  });

  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 Shotstack 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 shotstack, 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 Shotstack 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);
});
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Shotstack MCP?

With a standalone Shotstack MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Shotstack tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Shotstack 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 Shotstack tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Shotstack while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Shotstack 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 Shotstack data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
