How to Use the DPD MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I configure DPD tools in my OpenAI Agents SDK setup?

Install openai-agents and initialize MCPServerStreamableHttp pointing to your Vinkius MCP endpoint. Pass this server in the mcpservers list when instantiating your agent to auto-discover all DPD tools.

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK system filter past DPD shipments?

Yes, the agent calls listshipments with a JSON filter string to locate specific orders. This lets you isolate shipments by date or current transit status in Python.

Q: Does DPD support international address validation in OpenAI Agents SDK?

The agent uses listcountries to verify if DPD ships to a destination before booking. This prevents validation failures during the createshipment execution step.

Q: How does my agent find local pickup points?

Your agent calls findparcelshop with coordinates or postal codes to locate nearby drop-off locations. This helps direct customers to the nearest physical DPD terminal.

Ship packages directly through your OpenAI Agents SDK workflows without leaving your python script.

Generate DPD shipping labels inside OpenAI Agents SDK.

`create_shipment` lets your agent instantly book shipping orders by passing direct JSON payloads to DPD. You don't have to write custom middleware to handle label generation because the agent automatically fetches the required PDF formats through `get_labels`. The agent uses `list_products` to choose the right shipping tier before booking. This MCP Server setup prevents your team from manual copy-pasting during high-volume fulfillment runs.

Track parcel status with OpenAI Agents SDK.

`get_parcel_status` gives your agent real-time tracking updates directly from the DPD network. You can configure a supervisor agent to watch specific tracking numbers and handle exceptions without human intervention. If a shipment gets stuck, the agent pulls the full history using `get_shipment_status`. This allows your automated MCP support desk to answer customer queries with exact transit details instantly.

Cancel orders and export DPD manifests.

`cancel_shipment` allows your agent to void labels immediately when a customer cancels an order. This action prevents wasted shipping fees and stops physical parcel dispatch at your warehouse. At the end of the day, the agent runs `get_manifest` to compile the daily shipping manifest for the courier. This ensures your physical handoff matches the digital records perfectly.

Setup guide

Set up DPD 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 DPD tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
