Pull live market data into OpenAI Agents SDK

Call `get_price` or `get_global_data` to feed your agent current market snapshots. The tools hook directly into your agent constructor via `mcp_servers`. Your agent gets accurate numbers without manual scraping. Just set `cacheToolsList=True` to keep your production pipeline fast.

Search and filter assets within your agent

Use `search_crypto` to let your agent find specific tokens by name. The tool returns structured data the agent can parse immediately. It handles the lookup logic so your agent focuses on decision-making. You define the safety constraints in your Python code, and the agent acts based on the filtered results.

Analyze trends using the CoinGecko MCP Server

Fetch the latest trending coins with `get_trending` to keep your agent informed. This keeps your bot updated on market sentiment without extra code. Everything traces back to the OpenAI dashboard. You see exactly when your agent triggers these tools to fetch external data.

Setup guide

Set up CoinGecko 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 CoinGecko tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about CoinGecko MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Yes. You pass the server configuration directly into the agent constructor. It maps the tools automatically for your Python logic.

You can, but watch your rate limits. The server fetches raw data from the API, so monitor your usage inside your agent's execution loop.

Install the server and provide the HTTP URL to the `MCPServerStreamableHttp` object. The agent discovers the tools during initialization.

The server returns exact API responses. Since the agent receives the raw JSON, it doesn't need to guess the values.

Vinkius handles your connection securely. The server only transmits the specific market stats your agent requests, keeping your environment isolated.
