How to Use the DVLA Vehicle API MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I integrate the DVLA Vehicle API with OpenAI Agents SDK?

You initialize the server via MCPServerStreamableHttp and pass it into your agent constructor. The SDK automatically discovers all six tools, allowing your agent to call them as native functions.

Q: Can I use the DVLA Vehicle API to filter older fleets in OpenAI Agents SDK?

You can use getvehicleenvironmentaldata to pull emission and fuel types. Your agent can then apply logic to flag vehicles that don't meet your specific fleet requirements.

Validate vehicle status with OpenAI Agents SDK

Verify tax and MOT compliance in your agent logic. Use `get_vehicle_tax_status` and `get_vehicle_mot_status` to pull live registry data without custom middleware. Your agents handle the API calls directly. Define your safety guardrails in the SDK and trigger tool execution based on specific fleet events.

Real-time registration checks for your agents

Feed registration numbers into `get_vehicle_details` to return structured vehicle profiles. This removes the need for manual lookups during your agent's decision-making flow. Get technical data like engine capacity or fuel type via `get_vehicle_specifications`. The MCP Server handles the connection, letting your agent focus on acting on the returned vehicle metrics.

Monitor API reliability during agent execution

Check if the registry is active before committing an agent action. Run `check_api_status` as a pre-flight check to prevent agent errors during downtime. Integrate `get_vehicle_environmental_data` to filter fleets by emission standards. It's a direct path to clean data for your automated compliance audits.

Setup guide

Set up DVLA Vehicle API 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 DVLA Vehicle API tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
