Perplexity

Automated Coal Price and Quality Analysis

Your agent fetches granular market data by running `get_coal_prices` and `get_coal_quality` directly within your Python workflow. It pulls specific metrics like sulfur content and heat values to build your internal fuel models without manual data entry. Safety guardrails in your OpenAI Agents SDK environment verify these calls before execution. You get clean, structured data ready for your agent to process, ensuring your supply chain logic stays grounded in actual industry specs.

Mine-Level Production Tracking

Integrate `get_mine_production` to pull output stats from specific facilities, giving your agent a direct feed of current extraction volumes. This tool bypasses aggregated reports to show exactly what is moving out of the ground today. Your agent handles the data flow, letting you trigger alerts when production shifts. It keeps your agent system synced with EIA-7A and MSHA-7000-2 source records in real-time.

Global Trade and Reserve Intelligence

Use `get_coal_trade` and `get_coal_reserves` to map international export flows against domestic inventory levels. Your agent correlates this information to predict market tightness or potential supply gaps. This MCP Server provides the raw numbers your agent needs to evaluate long-term procurement. You maintain full visibility into global trade quantities and local stock capacities through a single connection point.

Setup guide

Set up EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence 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 EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence 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="EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence Agent",
            instructions="You have access to EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You connect the server via the MCPServerStreamableHttp class. The SDK discovers all six tools automatically, allowing your agent to invoke them as native functions during its task execution.

The server provides market intelligence, not execution capabilities. Your OpenAI Agents SDK agent uses the provided data to inform your procurement strategy, but it does not initiate financial transactions.

You can enable cacheToolsList=True in your setup to improve response speeds. This keeps the tool definitions ready for your OpenAI Agents SDK agent without re-fetching metadata every time.

Vinkius manages authentication through a single endpoint token. Your agent verifies this token when initiating the HTTP stream, ensuring only your authorized code accesses the data.

Your queries stay within the encrypted tunnel between your OpenAI Agents SDK client and the V8 Isolate Sandbox. This server only processes public industry data and does not store or log your proprietary agent inputs.
