How to Use the AwardWallet MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK
Build production agents that manage travel rewards with AwardWallet and the OpenAI Agents SDK. Guardrails included.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect AwardWallet MCP to OpenAI Agents SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect AwardWallet 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.
Manage User Loyalty Accounts
The `list_connected_users` tool gives your agent a roster of everyone who's authorized your app. From there, you can pull a specific user's full loyalty account list using `get_user_accounts`. This is perfect for building an agent that answers, "show me all of John Doe's connected airline accounts." The OpenAI SDK's built-in tracing lets you see every step of the agent's logic in your dashboard, so you can debug exactly how it found the answer.
Track Trips and History with an MCP Server
Let your agent pull travel plans and point balances. The `get_user_itineraries` tool fetches upcoming trips, while `get_user_timeline` provides a chronological view of a user's travel activity. You can also dig into a specific loyalty program with `get_account_history`. An agent built with the OpenAI Agents SDK can use these tools to proactively alert a user about an upcoming flight or a change in their points balance. The SDK's guardrails can prevent the agent from pulling history for the wrong account by adding a confirmation step before execution.
Connect and Check Account Status
The `create_auth_url` tool is your starting point, generating a unique link for each user to connect their AwardWallet account. Once they're connected, `get_account_check` acts as a simple ping to confirm your API connection is live and healthy. This isn't just about connecting. It's about building a reliable system. Your agent can use `get_account_check` as a health check before attempting more complex operations, and the SDK's handoff features mean a specialized "connectivity agent" could manage this process for your AwardWallet MCP Server.
Set up AwardWallet 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 AwardWallet tools at runtime. - 3
Create your Agent
Pass the MCP to
Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives AwardWallet tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically. - 4
Run the agent
Call
Runner.run(agent, prompt)to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate AwardWallet 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="AwardWallet Agent",
instructions="You have access to AwardWallet tools.",
mcp_servers=[server],
)
result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
print(result.final_output)
