Perplexity

Feed real-time exchange data to OpenAI Agents SDK

The `get_latest_rates` tool pulls current global currency valuations straight into your agent's context window. Your deployed OpenAI agent can check live market conditions before generating financial reports or approving cross-border transactions. Built-in guardrails validate these requests before execution. You can review every single API call and response directly inside the OpenAI dashboard tracing view to ensure your agent makes accurate calculations.

Run historical conversions

The `convert_currency` and `get_historical_rates` tools let your agents process past financial records accurately. When an agent reads an old invoice, it fetches the exact exchange rate for that specific billing date rather than applying today's numbers. Handoffs between specialized agents work perfectly here. A document-parsing agent extracts the raw amounts and dates, then passes them to a financial agent equipped with this MCP Server to calculate the finalized local currency values.

Build market trend analysis

The `get_timeseries` tool pulls daily exchange rates between two dates, covering up to 365 days of financial history. Agents use this data to calculate volatility, spot seasonal trends, or generate trailing averages for specific currency pairs. Just pass `list_currencies` to confirm supported fiat pairings before running the time-series pull. Setting `cacheToolsList=True` during your `MCPServerStreamableHttp` initialization keeps the agent's startup time low when querying these broad datasets.

Setup guide

Set up CurrencyBeacon 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 CurrencyBeacon tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about CurrencyBeacon MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Run `pip install openai-agents` in your environment. Initialize it using `MCPServerStreamableHttp` with your Vinkius endpoint URL, then pass it as `mcp_servers=[server]` to your Agent constructor.

Yes, the agent auto-discovers every exposed endpoint. You do not need to manually map the conversion or time-series schemas in your Python code.

It works natively. You can give the exchange rate tools to one specific financial agent, and other agents in your system will route currency questions to that specialized instance.

You can pull up to 365 days of daily exchange rates in a single request. For longer periods, your agent will need to paginate by making multiple sequential calls.

Your requested currency pairs, conversion amounts, and historical dates run inside an ephemeral V8 Isolate Sandbox. The connection is zero-trust, meaning the host destroys all trace of your conversion request the millisecond the HTTP response completes.
