How to Use the Channable MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect the Channable MCP Server to the OpenAI Agents SDK?

Install the package via pip and initialize MCPServerStreamableHttp with your Vinkius URL. Pass that MCP Server object into your Agent constructor's mcpservers array. The framework automatically discovers the e-commerce tools.

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK system handle Channable order tracking automatically?

Yes, your agent calls listordershipments to pull tracking numbers and courier details. You then configure a notification handoff agent to email customers their tracking links.

Q: Does the Channable integration support reading specific order details?

You pull precise line items and buyer info using the getorderdetails tool. The SDK's built-in guardrails ensure the agent only requests details for valid order IDs.

Wire up the Channable MCP Server to the OpenAI Agents SDK to manage marketplace stock via traced agent handoffs.

Perplexity

Channable MCP Server inventory control

Your deployed agents need real-time access to stock levels across multiple marketplaces. Use `update_product_stock` to build a specialized inventory agent that monitors sales velocity and triggers restocks before channels run dry. Because the OpenAI platform traces every action, you get a full audit trail of these stock adjustments. Pass the Vinkius endpoint token into `MCPServerStreamableHttp`, and your agent handles the rest under strict safety constraints.

Traceable marketplace order routing

Handling cross-channel fulfillment requires strict guardrails. Configure a triage agent to pull incoming data via `list_marketplace_orders` and hand off specific fulfillment tasks to downstream workers. If a buyer initiates a refund, `list_customer_returns` feeds that data back into your system. The SDK validates these actions before execution, preventing a prototype-level hallucination from messing with live ecommerce revenue.

OpenAI Agents SDK multi-tenant routing

Managing multiple brands means switching contexts constantly. Tools like `list_channable_projects` and `list_connected_channels` let your top-level routing agent figure out which store needs attention right now. Once the agent identifies the active project, it grabs the full context using `get_project_summary`. Setting `cacheToolsList=True` in your setup keeps this discovery phase fast, so your agents spend compute on actual problem-solving instead of tool fetching.

Setup guide

Set up Channable 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 Channable tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
