How to Use the Clearout MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I verify a list of emails with Clearout using the OpenAI Agents SDK?

Your agent should call the verifybulk tool with your list of emails. It will get back a list ID, which you can then use with the getbulkstatus tool to track the verification progress.

Q: Can an agent built with the OpenAI Agents SDK find new business emails with Clearout?

Yes, absolutely. The findemail tool is designed for this. Give it a person's name and their company's domain, and it will return a probable business email address.

Q: How do I check my Clearout credit balance from the OpenAI Agents SDK?

Just have your agent call the getcredits tool. It takes no arguments and returns your current credit balance, so you can decide whether to run a new verification job.

Q: What happens if I cancel a bulk job that's in progress?

Using the cancelbulk tool stops Clearout from processing any more emails in that list. Any emails that were already verified are safe, and you can still download their results.

Manage Bulk Email Lists

Give your agent a list of emails and tell it to get them verified. It'll use the `verify_bulk` tool to start the job and return a list ID. You can then have the agent periodically check on its progress using `get_bulk_status`. Once the job is finished, your agent can use `download_results` to get the clean list. If you need to stop a job midway or clean up afterwards, the `cancel_bulk` and `remove_bulk_list` tools are there. The OpenAI dashboard gives you a full trace of the agent's actions, so you always know what's happening with your long-running tasks.

Find and Check Emails One by One

This isn't just for bulk jobs. You can build specialized agents that handle single lookups. For instance, one agent could be responsible for lead generation, using the `find_email` tool to get a business email from a name and company. It can then hand that email off to a different, more specialized verification agent. That second agent's only job is to use the `verify_email` tool to confirm it's a valid address before adding it to your system. This is exactly what OpenAI's agent handoffs were designed for.

Build a Monitor Agent with the OpenAI Agents SDK

You can create a simple, dedicated agent to watch your Clearout account. Using the `get_credits` tool, it can check your balance before letting other agents run expensive verification jobs. This is a perfect use case for OpenAI's built-in guardrails. The same monitor agent can use `check_clearout_status` to make sure the API is online. If it's down, the agent can pause all other email-related actions until the service is back up, preventing failed jobs and wasted cycles. This MCP Server gives your agents the tools they need to be self-sufficient.

Setup guide

Set up Clearout 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 Clearout tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
