How to Use the Airbrake MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I initialize the Airbrake MCP Server in my OpenAI Agents SDK project?

Install the package with pip install openai-agents first. Then, instantiate MCPServerStreamableHttp with your Vinkius endpoint URL and pass it into the mcpservers list inside your OpenAI Agents SDK constructor.

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK pipeline cache the Airbrake MCP tool definitions?

Yes. You should set cacheToolsList=True when configuring your Airbrake server stream. This prevents the OpenAI Agents SDK from querying the Vinkius endpoint on every single turn, keeping your agent's execution times fast.

Q: How does OpenAI Agents SDK handle tracing when calling Airbrake tools?

Every tool call like listnotices or getproject shows up natively in your OpenAI developer dashboard. You can inspect the exact payload sent to Airbrake and see how the OpenAI Agents SDK interpreted the stack trace.

Q: How do I handle agent handoffs when triaging an Airbrake error group?

You can set up an OpenAI triage agent that calls listerrorgroups first. Once it identifies a database error, it hands off the execution context to a specialized database agent to run the fix on that specific Airbrake project.

Feed real-time Airbrake exceptions directly to your OpenAI Agents SDK pipelines to trigger automated rollbacks and triage.

Triage production bugs using OpenAI Agents SDK

When your production build spits out a 500 error, you don't want to dig through raw log files. This MCP Server lets your OpenAI agents call `list_error_groups` to isolate exactly which files are breaking. Once the agent identifies the culprit, it fires `get_error_group` to fetch the complete context. You get real-time debugging suggestions right in your OpenAI tracing dashboard without writing custom Airbrake API polling scripts.

Automate Airbrake deployment tracking in your agent pipelines

Stop letting bad code sit in production. Your OpenAI agents can watch your CI/CD runs using this MCP connection and run `track_deploy` the second a new container goes live. By feeding Airbrake deploy logs back into your OpenAI agent, the system automatically flags the engineer who broke the build. It keeps your Airbrake deployment history clean and documented inside the OpenAI dashboard.

Proactive Airbrake environment checks before executing agent code

Before your OpenAI agent tries to execute a rollback script, it checks if the target Airbrake project environment is actually active. Using `check_airbrake_status` and `list_environments` lets your agent verify that the API connection is active and the target stage exists. This pre-flight check prevents your OpenAI agent from querying dead Airbrake endpoints. It keeps your automated operations safe, ensuring the OpenAI agent only acts when the underlying Airbrake monitoring infrastructure is fully online.

Setup guide

Set up Airbrake 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 Airbrake tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
