How to Use the DocuSign MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Does my OpenAI Agents SDK verify who signed a DocuSign document?

Yes, your agent calls listrecipients to get the status of each signer. You write custom guardrails to block downstream steps until all signatures are complete.

Q: How does the OpenAI Agents SDK handle rate limits when polling DocuSign?

Instead of hammering the API, your agent uses listenvelopes with a specific date filter to check for updates. This keeps your API calls within bounds and displays clearly on your OpenAI dashboard.

Q: Can I cancel a pending signature request using this setup?

Yes, you invoke voidenvelope through the agent to cancel any active envelope immediately. The tool requires a specific reason, which prevents accidental or silent cancellations during run-time.

Run production-grade DocuSign workflows inside your OpenAI Agents SDK with built-in guardrails and full tracing.

Automated Envelope Dispatch

The `send_envelope` MCP tool in this MCP Server lets your OpenAI Agents SDK draft and dispatch signature requests directly from your code. Your agent pulls boilerplate layouts via `list_templates` and fills them with live data before sending. Because we are running inside a production-grade OpenAI Agents SDK loop, you enforce strict guardrails on these DocuSign calls. This tracking makes sure your agent never fires off an incorrect contract without human-in-the-loop sign-off.

Secure Link Generation with OpenAI Agents SDK

The `get_signing_url` tool generates direct links for recipients to sign contracts without waiting for email delivery. Your OpenAI Agents SDK handles the handshake, fetching the URL securely and passing it to the right user interface. If an agent needs to hand off the task to a specialized compliance agent, it passes the envelope ID. That second agent uses `list_recipients` to verify who signed before the workflow proceeds.

Real-Time Envelope Auditing

The `get_envelope` tool retrieves the exact status of any signature request to keep your database in sync. Your agent calls `list_envelopes` to scan for pending documents and automatically pings slow signers. In case a contract is sent in error, the agent triggers `void_envelope` with a mandatory reason to kill the process. Every step shows up in your OpenAI tracing dashboard, showing exactly why an MCP tool was called.

Setup guide

Set up DocuSign 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 DocuSign tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
