How to Use the ContactOut MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK handle rate limits on ContactOut?

Yes, because you can track your credits using getapiusage. The SDK's built-in tracing lets you monitor how often your agents call enrichcontact so you can throttle them before hitting hard limits.

Feed verified B2B emails and phone numbers straight to your OpenAI Agents SDK pipelines with zero manual scraping.

Build verified lead lists in OpenAI Agents SDK

Stop letting your agents guess contact details. This ContactOut MCP Server gives your OpenAI Agents SDK the ability to run `search_people` and `find_email_by_linkedin` directly inside your agent loops. The agent finds the right target, grabs their direct contact info, and passes it to the next step without human intervention. You get clean, verified data instead of scraped junk. Because the SDK handles tracing on your dashboard, you can watch exactly when and why the agent triggered `enrich_contact` to pull phone numbers.

Safe company enrichment with built-in guardrails

When your production agents need to qualify accounts, they shouldn't run wild. Use `search_companies` and `enrich_company` to gather firmographic data, while your OpenAI Agents SDK guardrails validate the budget or size criteria before triggering outreach. This prevents your system from wasting API credits on unqualified leads. You control the flow, and the agent gets the raw data it needs to make smart decisions.

Monitor your API usage during agent handoffs

Running multi-agent systems gets expensive fast. Let your supervisor agent run `get_api_usage` to monitor your ContactOut balance before handing off tasks to specialized outreach agents. If the balance is low, the SDK gracefully pauses or alerts your team. This keeps your production pipelines running smoothly without sudden API cutoff failures.

Setup guide

Set up ContactOut 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 ContactOut tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about ContactOut MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the SDK and pass the ContactOut MCP endpoint URL to the MCPServerStreamableHttp constructor. Set cacheToolsList to true so your agents instantly discover tools like `find_linkedin_by_email` without lagging.

Yes, because you can track your credits using `get_api_usage`. The SDK's built-in tracing lets you monitor how often your agents call `enrich_contact` so you can throttle them before hitting hard limits.

Absolutely, the SDK handles parallel execution natively. Your agent can run `search_companies` and `search_people` at the same time to map an entire target account in one turn.

You manage this at the agent definition level. Only expose specific tools like `find_email_by_linkedin` to your prospecting agent, while keeping your data-hygiene agent limited to `enrich_company`.

Your API keys and retrieved emails are never stored on Vinkius. The MCP Server acts as an ephemeral bridge, passing professional phone numbers and LinkedIn data directly to your isolated SDK environment without leaving a digital footprint.
