Real-time UV monitoring with OpenAI Agents SDK

Get precise, location-specific UV data directly into your agent's context. By invoking `uv_daily_zip` or `uv_hourly_zip`, your agent receives the exact exposure metrics needed to adjust outdoor work schedules or public health messaging automatically. This MCP server removes the need for custom scraping logic. Your agent parses the response, evaluates the safety threshold against your guardrails, and triggers the next step without human intervention.

Query EPA facility records with OpenAI Agents SDK

Access deep records on industrial sites using the `graphql_query` tool. Whether you need toxic release inventories or facility compliance status, the data flows straight into your logic pipeline for immediate analysis. Using `rest_query` allows you to target specific tables like `tri.tri_facility` directly. Your agent handles the data structure, ensuring that only verified environmental records influence your decision-making process.

Automated environmental reporting with OpenAI Agents SDK

Link your agent to current EPA datasets to generate automated site assessments. By combining `uv_daily_city_state` with facility queries, you create a comprehensive view of environmental conditions for any given region. This setup ensures your agent works with live, government-verified numbers. You get consistent data ingestion, allowing your system to flag potential hazards before they escalate into larger issues.

Setup guide

Set up EPA Envirofacts (Environmental Data) 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 EPA Envirofacts (Environmental Data) tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about EPA Envirofacts (Environmental Data) MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

The SDK connects to this MCP server via a streamable HTTP transport. Once configured, your agent automatically discovers the six available tools and executes them based on your prompts.

Yes. You define the logic that triggers whenever specific thresholds are met, such as high UV levels or new toxic release entries. The agent processes the data and executes the subsequent operation.

Your agent maintains strict control over the execution environment. The server requires an endpoint token to function, ensuring that only authorized requests reach the EPA data sources.

This server acts as a stable interface for your agent. You won't need to rewrite your agent code because the tools provide a consistent schema regardless of the underlying API updates.

You pass the required parameters like ZIP codes or city names directly to the tools. The server returns structured data that your agent can immediately process for your specific use case.
