A TypeScript package template for building and publishing AI SDK tools.

npm install ai-sdk-tool-as-package-template

import { getWeather } from "ai-sdk-tool-as-package-template"; import { generateText, gateway } from "ai"; const result = await generateText({ model: gateway("openai/gpt-4o-mini"), prompt: "What's the weather like in San Francisco?", tools: { getWeather: getWeather({ unit: "celsius" }), }, });

You can configure options for your tool. The example implementation, getWeather tool, accepts an optional configuration object:

type WeatherToolOptions = { unit?: "fahrenheit" | "celsius"; };

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies:

pnpm install

3. Create a .env file:

cp .env.example .env

4. Add your Vercel AI Gateway (or other preferred provider) API key to .env

Test your tool locally:

pnpm test

Build the package:

pnpm build

Before publishing, update the package name in package.json to your desired package name.

The package automatically builds before publishing:

pnpm publish
