How to Set Up and Use AI SDK 5 Migration
The AI SDK 5 Migration MCP server is a purpose-built tool that guides developers through upgrading codebases from Vercel AI SDK 4.x to 5.0. It connects directly to the official migration guide and data migration documentation, letting AI assistants search for breaking API changes, import updates, and streaming differences on demand. Instead of manually reading changelogs, developers can ask their AI client to generate a migration checklist and search the guide for specific patterns, making large-scale upgrades systematic and less error-prone.
Prerequisites
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code Copilot
- Node.js 18+ installed (for local development)
- An existing project using Vercel AI SDK 4.x that you want to migrate
- Network access to https://ai-sdk-5-migration-mcp-server.vercel.app (for the hosted endpoint)
Add the hosted MCP server to your client
The easiest way to use this server is via the publicly hosted Vercel deployment. Add the MCP URL to your client configuration file — no local installation required.
Configure your MCP client
Open your client's MCP configuration file (e.g. .cursor/mcp.json for Cursor or claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop) and add the server entry pointing to the hosted endpoint.
{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-sdk-5-migration": {
"url": "https://ai-sdk-5-migration-mcp-server.vercel.app/api/mcp"
}
}
}Generate a migration checklist
Start any migration by asking your AI assistant to create a checklist. The server's create-checklist tool downloads a comprehensive AI_SDK_5_MIGRATION.md file to your project root, giving you a structured task list to track progress.
Search the migration guide for specific changes
Use the search-guide tool to find information about specific API changes, import paths, streaming patterns, or tool usage. This queries the official AI SDK 5 migration documentation and returns the most relevant sections with code examples.
Search the data migration guide
For projects that persist conversation history or messages, use search-data-guide to find guidance on converting stored messages, dual-write patterns, and schema changes for database migration.
(Optional) Run locally for development
Clone the repository and run locally if you need offline access or want to extend the server. Install dependencies and start the dev server, then update your MCP config to point to localhost.
git clone https://github.com/vercel-labs/ai-sdk-5-migration-mcp-server.git
cd ai-sdk-5-migration-mcp-server
pnpm install
pnpm devAI SDK 5 Migration Examples
Client configuration (hosted)
Configure Claude Desktop or Cursor to use the publicly hosted AI SDK 5 Migration MCP server — no local process needed.

}Prompts to try
Example prompts you can use once the server is connected to your AI assistant.
- "Please migrate this project to AI SDK 5 using the ai-sdk-5-migration MCP server. Start by creating a checklist."
- "Search the AI SDK 5 migration guide for how streaming has changed."
- "What are the breaking changes to tool definitions in AI SDK 5?"
- "Search the data migration guide for how to convert stored messages to the new format."Troubleshooting AI SDK 5 Migration
Client cannot connect to the hosted URL
Ensure your MCP client supports HTTP-based (SSE or streamable) MCP servers, not just stdio. Cursor and VS Code Copilot support URL-based servers natively; for Claude Desktop you may need to use a local bridge or run the server locally with pnpm dev and point to http://localhost:3000/api/mcp.
create-checklist tool does not create the file
The tool returns a curl command that you need to run in your terminal. Copy the output and execute it in your project root directory to download the AI_SDK_5_MIGRATION.md checklist file.
search-guide returns no relevant results
Use more specific search terms related to the AI SDK API you are changing, such as 'streamText', 'generateObject', 'tool definitions', or 'import paths'. The search works best with code-level terminology rather than general questions.
