Pull sensor data into OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent queries live sensor streams without leaving your Python environment. Use `get_data` or `list_data` to feed current telemetry directly into your agent's decision loop. This MCP Server keeps your agent's context grounded in reality. It avoids stale values by fetching fresh state on every execution cycle.

Automate board triggers with OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent can inspect and manage your hardware logic by calling `get_trigger` and `list_triggers`. It handles the heavy lifting of checking which events are active. Building safety constraints into your agent logic is straightforward. Since your agent validates actions before execution, it won't accidentally fire off hardware commands.

Organize Adafruit IO dashboards for OpenAI Agents SDK

Keep your agent's view of your infrastructure clear by calling `list_dashboards` and `get_dashboard`. It provides the exact layout information needed to report status back to you. Grouping your hardware feeds becomes a task for your agent. It uses `list_groups` and `get_group` to map out your architecture before taking action.

Setup guide

Set up Adafruit IO 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 Adafruit IO tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Adafruit IO 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="Adafruit IO Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Adafruit IO tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Adafruit IO MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You instantiate an MCPServerStreamableHttp object and pass it to your agent constructor. The SDK automatically discovers all 10 tools, making them available to your agent immediately.

Yes, tool discovery is automatic. You just set cacheToolsList to true in your agent setup to keep performance snappy during your production runs.

Vinkius manages the transport using a secure, ephemeral sandbox. Your API keys never touch the OpenAI infrastructure directly, as the server acts as an isolated middleware layer.

The MCP protocol communicates the failure back to the agent. Because you are using a production SDK, you can catch these errors in your trace logs.

The server only touches the specific feeds you query via the tools. It follows a zero-trust model where data stays within your authorized connection.
