How to Use the DropBox Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: What happens if the agent tries to delete a file using this server?

The deleteitem tool executes the request immediately. Ensure your agent has strict guardrails before granting this permission.

Safe file operations for OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent uses `copy_item` and `move_item` to organize storage without leaving the Python runtime. Every operation is tracked through your dashboard, ensuring you have a clear audit trail of what moved where. Run `get_metadata` before executing any destructive commands. This prevents your agent from targeting the wrong file, keeping your production environment stable and predictable.

Manage external access with OpenAI Agents SDK

Generate temporary access keys using `create_shared_link` whenever your agent needs to expose a document to an external party. You can review all active entry points by calling `list_shared_links` to ensure no sensitive data stays public longer than necessary. Zero trust, zero drama. If an agent creates a link, it's on you to use `get_current_user` to verify the account context before the action completes.

Instant discovery with OpenAI Agents SDK

The `search_files` tool lets your agent find specific documents across your entire cloud hierarchy in milliseconds. Stop guessing file paths and let the agent query the index directly. Use `list_folder` to map out directory structures for automated cleanup. It's the fastest way to identify orphaned files that no longer serve a purpose in your storage architecture.

Setup guide

Set up DropBox Alternative 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 DropBox Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
