Real-time price tracking with OpenAI Agents SDK

Feed live market data into your agent logic using `get_price` or `get_price_multi`. Your agent pulls the exact rates it needs to make decisions without leaving your Python script. Since this MCP Server handles the requests, your agent stays focused on the trading strategy. The OpenAI dashboard gives you full tracing on every call to `get_price_multi_full`.

Historical analysis for your OpenAI Agents SDK models

Load granular market history into your agent's context using `get_historical_minute` or `get_historical_daily`. You get the precise OHLCV data required for backtesting or trend detection. Your agent parses this data to spot patterns in asset performance. By using the async context manager, you keep the agent's throughput high while fetching deep history.

Market intelligence inside OpenAI Agents SDK

Keep your agents informed with `get_latest_news` and `list_news_categories`. Your agent stays current on market shifts by checking the latest feeds directly. Filter the noise by calling `list_news_feeds` to target specific sources. Your agent acts on news events as soon as they hit the wire.

Setup guide

Set up CryptoCompare (Crypto Market Data) 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 CryptoCompare (Crypto Market Data) tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
