How to Use the Databox MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect Databox to the OpenAI Agents SDK?

Pass the Vinkius endpoint URL into the MCPServerStreamableHttp parameter. The SDK auto-discovers all twelve tools immediately. Set cacheToolsList=True to speed up initialization.

Q: Can OpenAI Agents SDK read my existing Databox dashboards?

It reads the raw metrics behind them. Your agent calls listdatasetmetrics to pull the actual numbers, which it can then analyze or summarize. It does not export visual charts.

Q: How do I delete old metrics?

You drop the entire container using deletedataset. There is no tool for deleting individual data points. Make sure your agent has strict guardrails before giving it access to this destructive action.

Build production-ready data pipelines that push KPIs to Databox using OpenAI Agents SDK.

Feed KPIs via OpenAI Agents SDK

Calling `push_metrics_data` lets your OpenAI agent send raw numbers straight into your dashboards. We built this MCP Server to handle high-frequency data ingestion securely so you don't break production. Handoffs work perfectly here. One specialized agent scrapes your internal billing database, then passes the payload to a reporting agent that triggers `create_dataset` and formats the metrics. Guardrails ensure you don't accidentally drop a table.

Track every dashboard update

Running `list_activity_logs` tracks exactly what your deployed agents are doing inside your Databox account. You can monitor every API call through the standard OpenAI dashboard tracing. Getting real-time feedback is critical for data systems. When an agent fires `get_storage_statistics`, you see the exact token usage and latency in your logs. This keeps your analytics footprint visible.

Manage sources across multiple accounts

Executing `list_accounts` maps out your entire organizational structure in seconds. Running analytics for different departments usually means juggling credentials, but this MCP Server handles the routing for you. Creating new integrations happens on the fly. The agent executes `create_data_source` when a new team needs tracking, bypassing the manual setup screens entirely.

Setup guide

Set up Databox 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 Databox tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Databox MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Pass the Vinkius endpoint URL into the `MCPServerStreamableHttp` parameter. The SDK auto-discovers all twelve tools immediately. Set `cacheToolsList=True` to speed up initialization.

It reads the raw metrics behind them. Your agent calls `list_dataset_metrics` to pull the actual numbers, which it can then analyze or summarize. It does not export visual charts.

You configure that within your agent's safety constraints. The MCP protocol passes HTTP 429 errors back to the agent, which handles retries based on your SDK settings.

You drop the entire container using `delete_dataset`. There is no tool for deleting individual data points. Make sure your agent has strict guardrails before giving it access to this destructive action.

Vinkius runs the connection inside a V8 Isolate Sandbox. Your proprietary sales figures and API activity logs pass directly from your environment to Databox. The ephemeral container destroys itself after the session, leaving zero trace of your metrics.
