Background
In multi-model collaboration scenarios, frequent switching between APIs from different AI vendors often requires code or configuration file changes, leading to inefficiencies.Scira MCP Chat addresses this pain point with the multi-model support built into the Vercel AI SDK.
Specific steps
- Environment configuration phase: Modify the NEXT_PUBLIC_AI_SDK_PROVIDER variable in the .env.local file, optional values include openai, xai-grok, etc.
- Key Management: Configure AI_SDK_API_KEY in the same file to ensure that it contains a legitimate API key for the corresponding model
- Real-time switching: Switch directly in the model selector in the chat interface without restarting the application
advanced skill
- Create multiple .env configuration files and use npm scripts to quickly switch between them (e.g. npm run config:grok)
- Dynamic switching of production environments via Docker environment variable injection
- Combine with the routing function of MCP server to realize automatic model selection based on problem type
