How to Use the Cilium (eBPF Networking) MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can OpenAI Agents SDK use Cilium (eBPF Networking) for automated troubleshooting?

Yes, your agent calls gethealthz to detect daemon issues. It then reports the findings back to your dashboard for rapid resolution.

Cilium (eBPF Networking) gives your OpenAI Agents SDK production-grade visibility into cluster traffic.

Monitor cluster health via OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent checks the daemon status using `get_healthz` to confirm the networking layer stays active. It catches failures before they cascade into production outages. This MCP server provides the direct link your agent needs to query the `get_cluster_nodes` tool. You get immediate insight into node status without leaving your Python environment.

Manage endpoint configurations with OpenAI Agents SDK

Use `get_endpoint` to retrieve specific container data based on IDs you provide. Your agent pulls the exact state of any local networking interface instantly. Updating your network policy is handled by `patch_config`. Your agent applies these changes directly through the server, keeping your infrastructure synced with your logic.

Automated network inspection for OpenAI Agents SDK

The `get_config` tool lets your agent read the current daemon settings in real-time. It compares active parameters against your intended baseline. Creating new connectivity is simple with `create_endpoint`. Your agent executes this action to map new services as your traffic demands grow.

Setup guide

Set up Cilium (eBPF Networking) 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 Cilium (eBPF Networking) tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Cilium (eBPF Networking) MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You pass the endpoint token through the Vinkius gateway. This isolates the connection from your primary network while the OpenAI Agents SDK handles the request.

Yes, your agent calls `get_healthz` to detect daemon issues. It then reports the findings back to your dashboard for rapid resolution.

The server only touches raw cluster metrics and configuration strings. It never logs your sensitive business logic or user input during the inspection process.

Changes persist only as long as the daemon remains active. You control the state through specific tool calls rather than global persistent writes.

You rely on the built-in guardrails of the SDK. These act as a filter for the raw data returned by the server, ensuring only valid responses reach your agent.
