How to Use the Arcadia Plug MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK
Build production-grade utility tracking systems with OpenAI Agents SDK and Arcadia Plug.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Arcadia Plug MCP to OpenAI Agents SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Arcadia Plug to OpenAI Agents SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Map utility footprints with OpenAI Agents SDK
Your agents need real utility data to make energy decisions. Connecting this MCP server gives them immediate access to `list_accounts` and `list_meters` across your entire organization. The SDK auto-discovers these tools without manual configuration. Just set up your agent, pass the server instance, and it starts pulling historical usage data directly into your prompt context.
Validate statements before payment execution
Production systems require safety guardrails. When your billing agent runs `get_statement`, OpenAI's framework validates the action before any data moves over the wire. You get full tracing in the OpenAI dashboard. If an agent tries to pull a bill for an unverified account, the built-in safety constraints block the request and log the attempt for review.
Handoff utility credentials safely
Multi-agent systems shine when specialized actors handle specific tasks. A credential-manager agent can run `list_credentials` and pass verified access states to a reporting agent downstream. Running `get_account_check` ensures the connection is active before the handoff happens. This prevents other agents from failing on expired utility logins halfway through a run.
Set up Arcadia Plug MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
openai-agentspackage (pip install openai-agents) - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install the SDK
Run
pip install openai-agentsto install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed. - 2
Connect via SSE transport
Use
MCPServerSsewith your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Arcadia Plug tools at runtime. - 3
Create your Agent
Pass the MCP to
Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Arcadia Plug tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically. - 4
Run the agent
Call
Runner.run(agent, prompt)to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Arcadia Plug tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.
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="Arcadia Plug Agent",
instructions="You have access to Arcadia Plug tools.",
mcp_servers=[server],
)
result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
print(result.final_output)
