How to Use the CoderPad MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can the OpenAI Agents SDK track CoderPad interview logs?

Yes, your agent invokes getpadeventlog to fetch the raw action history. This gives you a play-by-play breakdown of every keystroke recorded during the session.

Q: Does this MCP Server work with my existing CoderPad question bank?

Absolutely. Your agent uses listcoderpadquestions to index your internal bank, making it easy to fetch relevant coding challenges for upcoming interviews.

Perplexity

Automate pad creation and tracking

Your agent uses `create_new_interview_pad` to spin up live coding environments the moment a candidate interview is scheduled. This keeps your pipeline moving without manual clicks. You can also pull detailed session histories using `get_pad_session_details` to verify that code was written within the expected timeframe. It removes the need for switching between tabs during your evaluation process.

Audit interview performance

The `get_pad_event_log` tool lets your agent reconstruct the entire session timeline. You see exactly how a candidate approached a problem, step by step. Running `get_coderpad_usage_history` gives you a clear snapshot of your team's quota consumption. It’s perfect for keeping tabs on your monthly interview capacity inside your Python production stack.

Manage your question library

Use `list_coderpad_questions` to pull your stored technical challenges directly into the agent’s context. This ensures your team always picks from your vetted repository. Your agent can also call `list_coderpad_org_users` to identify which team member created a specific pad. It keeps your internal audit trail clean and organized.

Setup guide

Set up CoderPad 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 CoderPad tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
