Real-time price tracking for OpenAI Agents SDK

Feed live market data into your agents using `get_buy_price` and `get_sell_price`. You get the total cost inclusive of fees, allowing your agent to make informed trading decisions based on actual execution costs rather than estimates. Your production agent monitors these values continuously. By calling `get_spot_price`, the system avoids spread-related noise, providing a clean mid-market baseline for your automated logic.

Manage your assets via OpenAI Agents SDK tools

Use `get_payment_methods` to check your linked bank accounts and debit cards before initiating any action. Your agent verifies the status and limits of these methods to ensure the environment is ready for the requested operation. This MCP Server provides the operational visibility your agent needs. It checks `get_currencies` to confirm asset support, preventing errors before they hit your execution layer.

Sync your agent system time with Coinbase

Call `get_time` to align your agent logs with the exchange clock. This is critical for auditing your transaction flow within your OpenAI Agents SDK environment. Compare multiple assets at once using `get_public_prices`. It saves cycles by grabbing BTC, ETH, and SOL data in a single request, keeping your agent logic fast and responsive.

Setup guide

Set up Coinbase 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 Coinbase tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Coinbase MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Register the server as a toolset within your agent constructor. Once connected, your agent calls the available tools directly to pull current exchange data.

Yes, you can pull historical spot prices by passing a specific date to the `get_spot_price` tool. It returns the market value for that UTC date.

This server focuses on price discovery and account metadata. It provides the data necessary for your agent to decide on a trade, but it does not execute market orders.

The SDK performs auto-discovery of the MCP Server tools. Just pass the server instance to your agent, and the tools become available for invocation.

Your agent only accesses the specific account identifiers and payment method statuses you explicitly query. Vinkius isolates these requests, and your sensitive credentials never touch the model's training set.
