How to Use the FEMA MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can I trace FEMA queries inside the OpenAI Agents SDK dashboard?

Yes, every tool call like getdisasterapplications shows up in your run traces. This makes it easy to debug agent handoffs and monitor token usage during active emergencies.

Q: Can I use multiple agents to process emergency registrations with this MCP Server?

Absolutely. You can set up a routing agent that queries getregistrationintake and then hands off the data to specialized agents handling housing or infrastructure.

Build production-ready OpenAI Agents SDK workflows that track disaster declarations and coordinate emergency resources.

Audit disaster declarations with OpenAI Agents SDK guardrails

The `list_disaster_declarations` tool lets your OpenAI Agents SDK system verify active emergency declarations before kicking off downstream workflows via our MCP Server. By enforcing OpenAI's runtime guardrails, your agent checks federal status changes without risking rogue API calls or unverified actions.

Coordinate aid handoffs across specialized agents

The `get_registration_intake` tool feeds raw disaster registration metrics directly into your OpenAI Agents SDK multi-agent network. When a surge occurs, the primary triage agent hands off the payload to a dedicated housing specialist agent. This handoff happens natively in Python, passing the data cleanly so another agent can query `get_housing_assistance` to match families with active shelter programs. You can trace this entire multi-agent coordination path directly from your OpenAI developer dashboard.

Deploy secure tools for federal tracking

The `get_hazard_mitigation_grants` tool exposes historical mitigation project records to your agentic workflows using our managed MCP Server infrastructure. Because OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers these tools, you bypass manual API mapping entirely. Just initialize the streamable HTTP connection to let your models pull grant allocations on demand. This setup keeps your keys safe while giving your models direct, secure access to federal funding registries.

Setup guide

Set up FEMA 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 FEMA tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about FEMA MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the SDK and initialize the server using the streamable HTTP parameters. Pass this server instance directly to your agent constructor to enable auto-discovery.

Yes, every tool call like `get_disaster_applications` shows up in your run traces. This makes it easy to debug agent handoffs and monitor token usage during active emergencies.

You define pre-execution hooks in Python that validate arguments before the agent runs `get_public_assistance_applicants`. This prevents the model from requesting invalid applicant IDs or hitting API rate limits.

Absolutely. You can set up a routing agent that queries `get_registration_intake` and then hands off the data to specialized agents handling housing or infrastructure.

We isolate all API traffic in ephemeral V8 sandboxes so your registration intake metrics are never stored on our servers. Your connection token is encrypted at rest, ensuring that sensitive community impact stats remain strictly between your OpenAI agent and the federal database.
