How to Use the CloudConvert MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK system run concurrent CloudConvert file conversions?

Yes. Your agent initiates multiple runs using createsimplejob and tracks them concurrently. Use listtasks to poll the status of all active conversions in parallel.

Q: How does OpenAI Agents SDK handle failed CloudConvert runs?

The agent uses gettaskstatus to detect failures. When a step fails, the SDK handles the exception, allowing your agent to call canceljob and try a different format.

Q: Can the agent check my remaining API credits?

Yes, it can. The agent invokes getuser to inspect your current profile and credit balance before starting large conversion batches.

Run file conversions inside your OpenAI Agents SDK production workflows without building custom pipelines.

Safe cloud conversions with OpenAI Agents SDK

Stop letting raw files break your runtime. This MCP Server lets your OpenAI agents convert documents, images, and videos on the fly using `create_simple_job` while validating the output formats through your native SDK guardrails. Your agent monitors the progress via `get_task_status` and triggers custom handoffs to specialized agents only when the file is fully ready. If a conversion hangs or goes out of bounds, your OpenAI agent calls `cancel_job` immediately to save API credits.

Trace and manage active conversion tasks

Tracking background operations in production is usually a nightmare. This MCP Server exposes `list_tasks` and `get_task` directly to your OpenAI agent, allowing the system to log every step in your OpenAI dashboard. Your OpenAI agent gets complete visibility into payload sizes and processing times, querying `list_jobs` to clean up stale CloudConvert runs.

Auto-discover media formats in Python

Before submitting files, your OpenAI agent dynamically inspects available formats by executing `list_conversion_formats` to prevent client crashes. This checks compatibility without hardcoding file extension rules inside your system. By setting `cacheToolsList=True` during initialization, the OpenAI Agents SDK caches these tools. Your agent quickly references `list_import_operations` and `list_export_operations` to route incoming files to the correct processing node.

Setup guide

Set up CloudConvert 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 CloudConvert tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
