How to Use the Fax.Plus MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can I automate Fax.Plus transmission monitoring in OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes. Use the listoutboxjobs tool within your agent's periodic task loop to track active transmissions. You can then trigger follow-up actions based on the returned job status.

Q: How do I filter fax results?

Call listfaxes to pull your history. You can then write custom logic in your agent to filter the results by date or status.

Directly execute fax operations in your OpenAI Agents SDK production pipelines with full observability.

Automated Fax Lifecycle Management

Trigger `send_fax` directly from your agent logic to bypass manual document handling. Your agent handles the E.164 formatting and initiates transmission without leaving the Python environment. Monitor progress using `list_outbox_jobs` to verify completion. If a transmission hangs, use `cancel_outbox_job` to stop the process before it consumes your quota.

Integration with OpenAI Agents SDK

The MCP Server connects to your agent via the `MCPServerStreamableHttp` class. Tools are auto-discovered, letting your agent call `get_fax_details` as soon as it receives a status update. Enable `cacheToolsList` to keep your agent responsive during high-volume document processing. This setup keeps your production agent system within safety constraints.

Communication Audit Trails

Query your communication history using `list_faxes` to retrieve specific transmission records. Your agent can parse this data to maintain an accurate audit trail of all sent and received documents. Use `get_account_info` to verify the active identity before performing sensitive operations. This ensures your agent always operates within the correct account context.

Setup guide

Set up Fax.Plus 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 Fax.Plus tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Fax.Plus MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Connect the server via the HTTP transport provided by the SDK. Your agent will automatically map the available tools to its execution loop.

Yes. Use the `list_outbox_jobs` tool within your agent's periodic task loop to track active transmissions. You can then trigger follow-up actions based on the returned job status.

The connection relies on your unique endpoint token. All data remains isolated within your Vinkius sandbox during the transmission process.

Call `list_faxes` to pull your history. You can then write custom logic in your agent to filter the results by date or status.

It touches your fax metadata, including phone numbers, transmission status, and sender details. No physical files are stored on our servers; the MCP Server only interacts with the Fax.Plus API endpoints.
