Monitor cloud automation with OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent inspects actor performance by calling `get_actor` or `list_runs`. It checks if your background tasks finished correctly before moving to the next step. This MCP server gives your agent direct visibility into your infrastructure. It parses `list_tasks` to see what is currently queued or running.

Retrieve datasets for agent analysis

Feed your agent raw data by invoking `get_dataset_items`. You can dump specific results into your agent's context for immediate processing. It handles the heavy lifting of data discovery. Your code calls `list_datasets` to identify which bucket holds the information you need.

Manage account resources programmatically

The agent checks your account health using `get_user_info`. It identifies which webhooks are active through `list_webhooks` to ensure your triggers are set up right. Don't waste time checking consoles. Your agent sees everything from `list_key_value_stores` to your active schedules in one go.

Setup guide

Set up Apify 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 Apify Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Apify 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 Apify 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="Apify Alternative Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Apify Alternative tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
