How to Use the Dify MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect the Dify MCP Server to my OpenAI Agents SDK pipeline?

Install openai-agents and initialize MCPServerStreamableHttp pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Pass this server instance in the mcpservers list when instantiating your Agent. The SDK automatically discovers all six tools.

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK setup handle file uploads to Dify?

Yes, the agent uses the uploadfile tool to send binary data straight to your workspace. This ensures documents are parsed and ready before you trigger a chat run.

Q: How does OpenAI Agents SDK track conversations managed by Dify?

The agent calls listconversations to find existing threads and listmessages to pull historical logs. This MCP integration lets your Python agent maintain continuity without storing local database state.

Q: What parameters can my agent read from the server?

Your agent uses getparameters to fetch active application settings. This helps your Python code adapt to prompt updates made in the web UI without redeploying.

Run production OpenAI Agents SDK pipelines with direct access to Dify workflows, built-in guardrails, and zero-config tool discovery.

Run OpenAI Agents SDK chats with built-in feedback

Your OpenAI Agents SDK instances can now execute live conversations using the `chat` tool. This lets you route complex user prompts straight into your Dify workflow runner while maintaining strict agent handoffs in your Python code. Once a response lands, your agent uses the `feedback` tool to log performance ratings directly back to your dashboard. You get clean production tracing without writing custom API wrapper logic.

Audit Dify application parameters inside OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent needs to know what it's working with before running a task. By invoking `get_parameters`, the OpenAI Agents SDK inspects active system prompts and model configurations dynamically to prevent hallucinated tool calls. To keep track of context across multi-agent handoffs, the agent calls `list_conversations` and `list_messages`. This keeps your conversation history synced between your local runtime and your Dify backend using this lightweight MCP connection.

Handle file ingestion using this MCP Server

When users drop files into your OpenAI Agents SDK interface, the agent uses `upload_file` to pass them directly to your Dify storage. This avoids local disk overhead and keeps your execution environment stateless. Because of the server's clean integration, the uploaded file context is instantly available to subsequent `chat` steps. It makes document-based workflows fast and predictable.

Setup guide

Set up Dify 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 Dify tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
