How to Use the Files.com Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Automate file operations with OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent can now handle file movement without leaving your codebase. Use `copy_file` and `move_file` to manage your storage structure through natural language commands. The system handles all metadata retrieval via `get_file_metadata` so your agent understands file states before acting. This keeps your storage organized without manual intervention.

Enforce security and user control

Manage your directory access securely by using `create_permission` and `delete_permission`. Your agent handles these tasks while you maintain strict control over who can access specific data. Keep your user database clean by utilizing `create_user` and `delete_user` within your agent workflows. This MCP Server ensures your infrastructure stays current with every change.

Trigger workflows with webhooks

Connect your storage events to external processes using `create_webhook`. Your agent can define these triggers to ensure your systems react to file changes immediately. Monitor your automation health by running `list_automations` directly from your agent. It gives you immediate visibility into what is running across your storage environment.

Setup guide

Set up Files.com Alternative 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 Files.com Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
