How to Use the Basin MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK
Connect Basin to the OpenAI Agents SDK to manage form submissions and trigger webhooks inside production agent pipelines.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Basin MCP to OpenAI Agents SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Basin 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.
Read Forms and Qualify Leads
The `list_forms` and `list_submissions` tools pull your Basin lead data directly into your agent's context. Your OpenAI agent can fetch the newest entry using `get_latest_submission` and evaluate the lead quality against your custom instructions. Because the OpenAI SDK supports strict guardrails, you can safely let the agent read incoming form data without worrying about it taking unapproved actions. It pulls the raw payload via `get_submission` and passes the structured data to your downstream sales agents.
Automate Spam Management
You manage junk entries using the `mark_as_spam` and `mark_as_not_spam` tools. Developers can configure an OpenAI agent to evaluate form payloads against a known blacklist and automatically flag the bad actors. Tracing in the OpenAI dashboard shows exactly why an agent flagged a specific record. If a false positive slips through, another agent can reverse the decision and recover the lead without manual intervention.
Trigger Webhooks via MCP Server
Triggering downstream systems via this MCP Server requires the `refire_webhooks` tool. Your agent spots a high-value submission, qualifies it, and pushes it to your CRM by manually firing the Basin webhook. Handoffs between specialized agents make this powerful. One agent reads the entry, a second agent scores the lead, and a third agent executes the `update_submission` or `delete_submission` command based on the final score.
Set up Basin 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 Basin tools at runtime. - 3
Create your Agent
Pass the MCP to
Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Basin tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically. - 4
Run the agent
Call
Runner.run(agent, prompt)to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Basin 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="Basin Agent",
instructions="You have access to Basin tools.",
mcp_servers=[server],
)
result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
print(result.final_output)
