How to Use the Design Pickle MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK
Let your OpenAI Agent manage your entire Design Pickle queue, from checking status to finding finished work.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Design Pickle MCP to OpenAI Agents SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Design Pickle to OpenAI Agents SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Check your design queue status
This MCP Server gives your agent the tools to monitor your entire design pipeline. It can check the main production queue with `get_production_queue_status` or pull a list of all jobs with `list_design_requests`. You don't have to log into the website just to see what's happening. Build handoffs between agents. One agent can watch for completed work using `list_recently_delivered_designs` and then pass the details to another agent for processing. With OpenAI's built-in tracing, you see every action and decision in your dashboard.
Find any design request or brand profile
Stop digging through your account to find things. Your agent can use `search_design_requests` with a keyword to find a specific job instantly. It can also get the full history and details for any request using `get_design_request_details`. This isn't just for one-off tasks. Your agent can also manage brand consistency by pulling details with `get_brand_profile_details` or listing all of them with `list_brand_profiles`. It's a reliable way to feed brand data into other parts of your system.
Get an overview via your OpenAI Agent
Your agent can get a high-level summary of your account. Use `get_account_metadata` to check settings and `list_active_subscriptions` to confirm your current plan. It's perfect for automated reporting or internal dashboards powered by this MCP connection. You can also see who's working on your projects. The `list_assigned_designers` tool gives your agent a current list of assigned designers. This gives you the visibility you need, right inside your agent's logic.
