Real-time market data in OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent pulls live pricing and market caps directly into its execution loop using `get_quotes` and `list_listings`. It stops guessing current values and starts working with the same data traders see. Since OpenAI Agents SDK handles the heavy lifting, you'll see these tools auto-discover as native functions. The agent manages the context without you writing glue code for every endpoint.

Validate your crypto logic

Use `price_conversion` to handle multi-currency arithmetic inside your agent's reasoning chain. It ensures the conversion math matches the latest market state. When the agent triggers these tools, the SDK traces the call path through your dashboard. You can watch exactly how the model interprets CoinMarketCap data before it makes a decision.

Manage your API resources

Keep tabs on your usage limits with `get_key_info` so you don't hit a wall mid-operation. It tells you exactly how many credits remain in your account. This MCP server keeps your agent informed about its own budget constraints. It avoids failed requests by checking the current rate limit status before firing off a batch of queries.

Setup guide

Set up CoinMarketCap 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 CoinMarketCap tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about CoinMarketCap MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the SDK and pass the server URL into your Agent constructor using the mcp_servers parameter. The agent discovers the toolset immediately and maps them to your local environment.

Yes, set cacheToolsList to True in your config to speed up performance. This prevents the agent from re-fetching the schema every time it needs a price.

The SDK validates agent actions against your rules before they execute. If a query returns data that violates your constraints, the agent stops before making a bad trade.

It provides the raw figures directly from the source API. Your agent processes these values based on the logic you define in your Python code.

Your API keys never touch the agent's memory directly. The server manages all traffic, only passing back the specific market data requested by your OpenAI Agents SDK instance.
