Instant Bitcoin price tracking for OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent pulls live market data directly from the exchange using `get_bitcoin_price_usd` or `get_bitcoin_price_gbp`. It skips the manual lookup and injects current valuation straight into your decision logic. Everything happens inside your agent's runtime. You get the price exactly when your code needs it for execution.

Verify market data timing in OpenAI Agents SDK

Don't guess when the price was last updated. Call `get_latest_update_time` to confirm the exact UTC timestamp of the trade data processed by the MCP Server. This keeps your agent honest about the age of the information. It stops stale data from hitting your trading logic.

Audit currency support for OpenAI Agents SDK

Run `list_supported_currencies` to see which fiat markets you can track. It maps out your available options before your agent attempts a price request. Use `get_bitcoin_price_custom` once you identify the right currency code. It handles the edge cases for specific regions without extra configuration.

Setup guide

Set up CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index 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 CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
