Search CMS.gov Data with OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent queries the Medicare database directly using `search_doctors` or `search_hospitals`. This eliminates manual lookup time while ensuring your system works with the latest provider enrollment status. Python-based agents automatically map these tools into the execution loop. You get immediate access to NPI numbers and facility ratings without writing custom API wrappers.

Validate Healthcare Data in OpenAI Agents SDK

Use `get_doctor_by_npi` to pull verified practice addresses and specialty data. Your OpenAI agents handle the incoming JSON payloads natively, keeping your logic clean. This MCP Server provides the exact data structure needed for reliable agent handoffs. You define the safety constraints, and the server provides the raw facts needed to satisfy them.

Analyze Hospital Quality via OpenAI Agents SDK

Query `get_hospital_ratings` to rank facilities by state or type. Your agent processes these results to provide actionable recommendations based on real Medicare benchmarks. Because this is an MCP Server, the connection is persistent. You don't need to rebuild your agent logic every time the data schema shifts.

Setup guide

Set up CMS.gov Data 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 CMS.gov Data tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
