How to Use the Casting42 MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I configure Casting42 with the OpenAI Agents SDK?

You instantiate MCPServerStreamableHttp with your Vinkius endpoint. Pass that into the Agent constructor as mcpservers=server.

Q: Can OpenAI Agents SDK read custom Casting42 attributes?

Yes. The listcustomattributes tool exposes every user-defined field. Your agent reads the schema at runtime to understand the current database structure.

Q: Does the OpenAI Agents SDK cache Casting42 responses?

You control that in the setup. Set cacheToolsList=True to prevent the agent from re-fetching the tool definitions on every turn.

Connect Casting42 to the OpenAI Agents SDK to build production-grade talent sourcing pipelines with built-in guardrails.

Build Talent Handoffs in OpenAI Agents SDK

Your primary agent triggers `search_talents` to find actors matching specific physical requirements. It pulls the initial list and immediately hands the data off to a specialized evaluation agent. That secondary agent runs `get_talent_details` and `list_talent_media` to pull headshots and acting reels. You get a fully vetted talent shortlist without writing custom API polling logic.

Audit Casting Project Workflows

Calling `list_casting_projects` leaves a clear audit trail in your OpenAI dashboard. You can watch exactly when your agent pulls active roles for a new production. The agent takes those roles and matches them against `list_talent_categories`. If a tool call fails or returns empty, the framework catches it before your pipeline breaks.

Map Custom Attributes Automatically

The `list_custom_attributes` tool exposes the weird data fields casting directors invent for every new movie. Your agent reads these dynamic fields so it understands what specific physical traits mean in the current database context. It combines those fields with `list_talent_tags` to filter the talent pool. The Vinkius MCP Server handles the authentication layer while your agent does the heavy lifting.

Setup guide

Set up Casting42 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 Casting42 tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Casting42 tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Casting42 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="Casting42 Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Casting42 tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
