How to Use the Bitly MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I list Bitly links within my OpenAI Agents SDK project?

You connect the server and call the listbitlinks tool directly. It returns a JSON object containing your active links and their current metadata.

Q: Can OpenAI Agents SDK handle Bitly click analytics?

Yes, you use the getclicks tool to pull data. The agent receives the count and can summarize the performance for your reports.

Q: How do I get account info for Bitly?

Invoke the getuser tool from the server. It returns your account settings and group IDs for further operations.

Q: What happens if I have multiple Bitly groups?

The listgroups tool retrieves your organization's hierarchy. You can then pass a specific group ID to other tools to filter your data.

Shorten URLs and track click data directly inside your OpenAI Agents SDK production pipeline.

Generate links with OpenAI Agents SDK

Call `shorten_url` to turn long web addresses into clean Bitly links without leaving your Python environment. You can set custom titles or specific domains for branding while the agent handles the request. The `create_qr_code` tool lets you generate imagery for those links instantly. Your agent attaches these codes to your outgoing messages or logs for offline tracking.

Analyze traffic via this MCP Server

Feed click data back into your agent logic using `get_clicks` or `get_referrers`. You get raw numbers on how many people hit your links and where they came from. Running `get_countries` provides a geographic breakdown of your audience. This helps your agent decide which markets to target next based on real traffic patterns.

Manage account links in OpenAI Agents SDK

Use `list_bitlinks` to pull every active URL from your account into the agent's memory. This makes it simple to audit your link library or find specific assets. Updating existing links is handled by `update_bitlink`. If you need to rename an entry or fix a title, your agent executes the change in one step.

Setup guide

Set up Bitly 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 Bitly tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Bitly tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Bitly 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="Bitly Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Bitly tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
