New Adapter Directory for Chat SDK
Vercel has introduced a centralized adapter directory at chat-sdk.dev/adapters to help developers discover and integrate adapters for the Chat SDK. This directory organizes adapters into three categories to make it easier for teams to find the right integration for their needs.
Adapter Types
The directory features three types of adapters:
- Official adapters: Maintained by the core Chat SDK team and published under the
@chat-adapter/*namespace - Vendor-official adapters: Built and maintained by platform companies themselves, including Resend (email), Beeper Matrix, and Photon iMessage
- Community adapters: Created by third-party developers following the same model as AI SDK community providers, allowing anyone to build and publish adapters
Getting Started
Developers can browse the directory to find adapters that connect their platform or state management system to Chat SDK. The directory also provides a contributing guide that explains how to build, test, document, and publish custom adapters, following established patterns from the AI SDK ecosystem.
Example Integration
Resend's email adapter demonstrates how vendors are integrating with Chat SDK, allowing developers to receive and respond to emails through the chat interface using a clean, declarative API.
