Perplexity

Real-time course and user tracking

Your agent pulls live enrollment data using `list_user_enrollments` to monitor student progress as it happens. It connects directly to your catalog to fetch specific details through `get_offering_details`. This setup removes the need for manual exports. Your agent handles the heavy lifting, ensuring your production systems stay updated with the latest learner activity.

Automated exam and performance monitoring

Query your entire system for specific assessment data with `list_assessment_exams`. You can identify top performers immediately by executing `list_high_performing_learners`. Your agent parses these results to trigger follow-ups. It keeps your training data clean without you needing to write custom polling scripts.

Fast identity lookups for DigitalChalk

Find specific users in seconds using `search_users_by_identity`. This tool allows your agent to verify enrollment status or check account metadata via `get_lms_account_metadata`. It works within your existing agent flow. You get precise, validated user information without digging through the LMS dashboard manually.

Setup guide

Set up DigitalChalk 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 DigitalChalk tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
