Monitor shipments with OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent registers packages automatically using `register_tracking`. It keeps your shipping data accurate without manual entry. Python agents handle the lifecycle of every parcel. Your code triggers `get_tracking_info` to pull status updates directly into your internal logs.

Automated carrier detection

Stop guessing which courier handles your freight. The `detect_carrier` tool identifies the correct provider for any tracking number instantly. Your OpenAI Agents SDK environment parses these responses to route logistics data. It verifies the provider list against `list_carriers` before initiating any transit queries.

Manage tracking records safely

Clean up your database by calling `delete_tracking` or `stop_tracking` when a package arrives. This keeps your agent memory focused on active shipments. Updating metadata is just as simple. Use `update_tracking_tag` to label packages for your internal tracking systems.

Setup guide

Set up 17Track MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all 17Track tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives 17Track tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate 17Track tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="17Track Agent",
            instructions="You have access to 17Track tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about 17Track MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the server via Vinkius and pass the endpoint to your agent configuration. Your code uses the MCPServerStreamableHttp class to establish the connection.

Yes, the server exposes the `detect_carrier` tool. Your agent calls this function to identify the courier before fetching status updates.

You can register multiple tracking numbers by iterating through your shipment list. The server processes these calls sequentially to maintain data integrity.

The server returns an error code specific to the failed request. You should check the response status to see if the number or carrier is invalid.

Only the tracking numbers and carrier codes you explicitly pass to the server are transmitted. No other shipment content or customer PII is ever accessed or stored by this MCP server.
