How to Use the Cart.com (AmeriCommerce) MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK bot create new Cart.com (AmeriCommerce) products?

Yes. The agent will discover the createproduct tool automatically on boot. You can put human-in-the-loop guardrails around this specific tool to require manual approval before the SKU goes live.

Q: Does the agent know which categories exist?

It finds out by running listcategories. If it needs deeper metadata about a specific group, it calls getcategorydetails.

Connect Cart.com (AmeriCommerce) to the OpenAI Agents SDK to build production e-commerce bots with built-in guardrails.

Perplexity

Manage Store Inventory Safely

Your OpenAI agent needs to read real-time stock levels before making promises to buyers. Hooking up this MCP server gives your agent direct read and write access to your Cart.com catalog. Calling `list_products` pulls the current inventory state straight into the context window. If an admin approves an expansion, the agent can fire `create_product` to push new SKUs live, with OpenAI's dashboard tracing every API call.

OpenAI Agents SDK Order Routing

Customer support bots usually guess at shipping statuses. Now your deployed agent can pull exact tracking data from Cart.com without writing custom integration code. The agent triggers `get_order_details` when a user asks about a specific purchase. The OpenAI tracing interface logs exactly what the bot fetched, ensuring it only reads data for the authenticated user.

Handle Shopper Profiles

You can build a specialized onboarding agent that registers new buyers automatically. It handles the back-and-forth chat, collects the required fields, and pushes the record to AmeriCommerce. The `create_customer` tool handles the write operation, while `get_customer_details` lets a separate support agent look up existing accounts. You define the handoff between these two agents using the SDK's built-in routing.

Setup guide

Set up Cart.com (AmeriCommerce) 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 Cart.com (AmeriCommerce) tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
