Perplexity

Batch processing for OpenAI Agents SDK

Stop wasting time on individual API calls. Use `create_batch_message` to queue up your prompts and let the server handle the heavy lifting while your agent stays responsive. Keep tabs on your job progress with `get_batch_message`. If you realize you sent the wrong batch, `cancel_batch_message` kills the process before you burn through your budget.

Token management with OpenAI Agents SDK

Stop guessing your costs before you hit the API. Run `count_tokens` on your message array to get an exact number before you send anything. This keeps your agent within context limits without crashing. It turns token math into a simple function call inside your Python code.

Model discovery in OpenAI Agents SDK

Don't hardcode model strings that might change tomorrow. Call `list_models` to see exactly which versions are available for you to use right now. Pick the right tool for the job using `send_message`. You pass the model ID you just found, and the server handles the rest of the communication.

Setup guide

Set up Anthropic Alternative 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 Anthropic Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Anthropic Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You instantiate an MCPServerStreamableHttp object with your endpoint. Pass that into your agent constructor and the SDK auto-discovers your tools.

Yes, it manages multi-step message flows through the standard API. You just define the role and content blocks in your message array.

The server just acts as a bridge to your existing API billing. You pay for the tokens you consume, not for the connection itself.

All data is ephemeral and encrypted in transit. We never store your raw prompts or responses once the request completes.

The server returns a standard error code that your agent can catch. You can then retry the specific batch or message request as needed.
