ClockShark + OpenAI Agents SDK FAQ
Common questions about integrating ClockShark MCP Server with OpenAI Agents SDK.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
