How to Use the Dotdigital MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can Dotdigital tools trigger actions in my OpenAI Agents SDK pipeline?

Yes. Your agent calls tools like listautomationprograms to read current journeys. It uses the output to decide which contacts need immediate re-engagement.

Q: Does the Dotdigital integration cause latency in OpenAI Agents SDK?

It adds minimal overhead. By setting cacheToolsList=True in your SDK configuration, you keep tool discovery snappy while maintaining direct API access.

Connect Dotdigital to OpenAI Agents SDK to automate campaign management and contact data lookups with built-in guardrails.

Perplexity

Real-time campaign performance tracking

Your agent pulls live campaign metrics using `list_email_campaigns` to monitor delivery status. It shifts from high-level summaries to granular details instantly. This setup lets the agent trigger `get_campaign_details` when performance dips below your defined thresholds. It keeps your production dashboard current without manual intervention.

Automated contact profile management

Use `get_contact_profile` to pull specific user history directly into your agent's decision loop. It replaces static lookups with dynamic, context-aware data retrieval. Your agent handles `search_marketing_contacts` to identify lead segments on the fly. This ensures your messaging remains relevant based on the latest interaction data.

Deep audit of marketing health

The `quick_marketing_health_audit` tool gives your agent an instant pulse on your account status. It identifies bottlenecks in your current email strategy before they impact your conversion rates. This MCP Server provides the raw data needed for your agent to suggest program optimizations. It turns broad account metadata into actionable steps for your team.

Setup guide

Set up Dotdigital 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 Dotdigital tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
