How to Use the Equinix Metal MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can OpenAI Agents SDK automatically rotate Equinix Metal keys?

Yes. You set up a scheduled task in your agent to trigger createprojectapikey and follow up with deleteapikey. This keeps your access window short.

Manage your Equinix Metal infrastructure directly through your OpenAI Agents SDK workflow.

Automate Equinix Metal key lifecycle

Your agent handles credential rotation by triggering `create_project_api_key` or `create_user_api_key` whenever your security policy mandates a change. This removes the need for manual intervention in your production pipelines. When a key is compromised or no longer needed, your agent invokes `delete_api_key` or `delete_user_api_key` instantly. You maintain a clean environment without leaving orphaned tokens behind.

Manage communication and access

Keep your project contacts current by using `create_email`, `update_email`, and `delete_email` tools. Your agent ensures the right accounts receive notifications without you touching the console. Handle team onboarding by using `get_invitation` to review pending requests before your agent executes `decline_invitation` if the request doesn't match your project criteria.

Secure your MCP Server deployment

This MCP Server integrates into your agent's execution loop, allowing for native guardrail enforcement. You define the logic that permits the agent to call sensitive tools. Every action taken via the SDK is logged. You track exactly which key was created or deleted, providing an audit trail for your infrastructure operations.

Setup guide

Set up Equinix Metal 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 Equinix Metal tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Equinix Metal MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You manage secrets by passing them as environment variables to the server. The OpenAI Agents SDK then executes commands through your authenticated endpoint, ensuring no hardcoded values exist in your codebase.

Yes. You set up a scheduled task in your agent to trigger `create_project_api_key` and follow up with `delete_api_key`. This keeps your access window short.

You control which tools are exposed by defining your agent's capabilities explicitly. This prevents the agent from performing unauthorized actions on your Equinix Metal account.

The server acts only as a bridge for your requests to the Equinix Metal API. It does not store your project data or credentials in its own memory, keeping your information isolated.

The MCP Server returns a standard error response to your agent. Your code catches this exception immediately, allowing you to retry the operation or log the failure for manual review.
