Perplexity

Direct `query_bls` access for OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent needs raw numbers to make smart hiring decisions. This MCP server lets your Python code pull median earnings for specific roles and states without leaving your agent loop. Using `query_bls` is straightforward. You feed it the exact series ID, and the agent gets the raw wage data back instantly for processing.

Production-grade wage lookups

Stop guessing what developers or analysts make in specific regions. Your agent hits the OEWS database to pull real figures that inform your budget planning. Because this is an MCP server, your agent handles the data flow within your existing guardrails. It validates the output against your safety constraints before you deploy any hiring logic.

High-concurrency data retrieval

You can fire off up to 50 concurrent lookbacks when your agent needs a bulk salary report. It handles the heavy lifting while your agent stays responsive. Tracing this in your OpenAI dashboard is simple. You see exactly when the agent calls `query_bls` and what it does with the resulting wage statistics.

Common questions about BLS Wages — OEWS Occupational Employment MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You instantiate an MCPServerStreamableHttp object and pass it to your agent constructor. The SDK handles tool discovery automatically, letting your agent call the wage data directly.

Yes. The server returns standard numerical series data that your Python agent parses immediately. You just need to ensure your agent knows the correct series IDs.

It does. Since your agent treats the tool output like any other data, your validation layer inspects the wage figures before they reach your final application logic.

The connection remains active for as long as your agent lifecycle requires it. You manage the session via the async context manager in your Python code.

This server only touches public OEWS wage statistics. No personal employee information is ever transmitted, and the Vinkius sandbox ensures your agent session remains isolated.
