How to Use the Bandcamp MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK
Build production-ready music discovery agents with OpenAI Agents SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Bandcamp MCP to OpenAI Agents SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Bandcamp 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.
Wire Bandcamp to OpenAI Agents SDK
Your agent needs raw data to build editorial dashboards or scout independent artists. Connect this MCP server via `MCPServerStreamableHttp` and watch the SDK auto-discover every tool. You get immediate access to the entire independent music catalog without writing a single REST client. Handoffs make this powerful. One specialized agent runs `search` to find emerging labels, while a second agent takes those URLs and feeds them into `get_page_data`. You track the entire extraction pipeline through the OpenAI dashboard, complete with built-in guardrails that stop bad requests before they hit the network.
Extract structured album metadata
Scraping music platforms usually means fighting rate limits and broken HTML. We handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes. Your agent just calls `get_page_data` with any Bandcamp URL and gets back clean, structured JSON containing tracklists, pricing, and embedded metadata. Combine this with `get_new_releases` to build automated scouting workflows. Set `cacheToolsList=True` in your Agent constructor to keep latency low. The agent grabs the newest drops by genre, extracts the pricing data, and formats a daily briefing for your A&R team.
Read editorial and sales trends
Finding what actually sells requires digging through charts. Your production system can now call `get_best_selling` and `get_featured` to pull top-performing releases and curated editorial picks directly from the front page. You always know exactly what genres are available by hitting `get_tags` first. Then pass those tags into `discover_music` or `get_recommended`. The agent builds a complete picture of trending independent music, backed by hard sales data rather than just algorithms.

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 Bandcamp tools at runtime. - 3
Create your Agent
Pass the MCP to
Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Bandcamp tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically. - 4
Run the agent
Call
Runner.run(agent, prompt)to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Bandcamp 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="Bandcamp Agent",
instructions="You have access to Bandcamp tools.",
mcp_servers=[server],
)
result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
print(result.final_output)
