Perplexity

Automated rental discovery and filtering

Your agent uses `search_rentals` to pull live inventory based on your exact parameters. It handles the heavy lifting of parsing regional data through `search_rental_regions` before surfacing the best matches. Once a candidate property is found, the agent calls `get_rental_details` to pull specific metadata. This keeps your search loop tight and focused on relevant listings.

Strict itinerary and policy management

Validate every booking condition before committing funds by running `check_rental_policies`. This step ensures your agent understands the fine print regarding house rules and fees. Use `book_rental` only after the agent confirms the details. The OpenAI Agents SDK then logs the entire transaction sequence for your audit trail.

Real-time guest experience verification

Deep dive into property quality by calling `get_rental_reviews` and `get_unit_amenities`. You get a clear picture of what guests actually experienced, not just the listing highlights. Pair this with `get_rental_images` to see the actual property condition. Your agent makes decisions based on hard data rather than optimistic marketing copy.

Setup guide

Set up Expedia Vrbo 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 Expedia Vrbo tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
