How to Use the BoardEffect MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK system run audits on old BoardEffect decisions?

Yes. Your agent calls listarchives to pull historical board materials. You can configure specialized agents to handle the raw archive data while another agent formats the final report.

Build production-grade board portals using OpenAI Agents SDK to pull live BoardEffect meetings and documents safely.

Track Board Meetings with OpenAI Agents SDK

The BoardEffect MCP Server uses `list_meetings` and `get_meeting` to expose board schedule data directly to your OpenAI agents. You get full tracing on your OpenAI dashboard when the agent pulls these records. This means you see exactly when and why the model looked up a specific board session.

Access Boardroom Documents Safely

This MCP integration uses `list_workrooms` and `list_documents` to find board materials inside secure workrooms. Built-in guardrails validate the agent's actions before it fetches sensitive board files. You don't have to worry about the model wandering into archives it shouldn't touch.

Audit Member Directories and Polls

The `list_members` and `list_polls` tools let your agent audit board composition and active votes. If you need to check specific voter profiles, the agent runs `get_member` or `list_surveys` to compile the report.

Setup guide

Set up BoardEffect 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 BoardEffect tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about BoardEffect MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the SDK via pip and use the async context manager to set up the MCP HTTP streamable server. Pass the server instance directly into your Agent constructor so it auto-discovers the tools.

Yes. Your agent calls `list_archives` to pull historical board materials. You can configure specialized agents to handle the raw archive data while another agent formats the final report.

Set the tool caching parameter to true in your agent configuration. This prevents the SDK from repeatedly querying the server for the tool schema when checking meetings or members.

The platform blocks the request immediately. Your agent will receive an error from `list_documents` or `list_workrooms` and must handle the failure gracefully.

Your board meeting details, member contact info, and active poll results never persist on our servers. Vinkius runs the BoardEffect MCP connector in an isolated, ephemeral sandbox that handles authentication securely and deletes the session data immediately after the API call finishes.
