How to Use the Flipt MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect Flipt to my OpenAI Agents SDK pipeline using MCP?

Install the SDK and pass the Flipt endpoint to the MCPServerStreamableHttp constructor. Your agent automatically registers all nine tools, including listflags and listrollouts, without manual schema mapping.

Control your feature flags safely by connecting Flipt to OpenAI Agents SDK with strict guardrails and runtime tracing.

Safely inspect flag configurations with OpenAI Agents SDK

The `list_flags` tool exposes your Flipt feature flag configuration directly to your OpenAI Agents SDK runtime. Your OpenAI agent reads these active flags to make real-time branching decisions without relying on hardcoded variables. By combining `list_namespaces` and `list_segments`, your OpenAI agent maps out your Flipt user cohorts. This discovery process feeds directly into the OpenAI tracing dashboard to show exactly which flag state triggered an agent action.

Safely update variants using an MCP Server and handoffs

The `create_variant` tool lets your OpenAI agent define new flag variations directly inside your Flipt namespaces. Instead of giving the agent unmonitored write access, you use OpenAI's native handoffs to pass the draft variant to a specialized validation agent. You configure the system to query `list_rules` before committing any changes to your Flipt rollout strategy. If the OpenAI Agents SDK detects a rule conflict, it halts the execution chain immediately.

Dynamically control user rollouts with precise targeting

The `create_distribution` tool maps your Flipt flag variations to specific target groups based on decisions made by your OpenAI agent. The agent evaluates your active user segments with `list_segments` to apply precise rollout percentages. To prevent system-wide outages, you can restrict write operations like `create_constraint` to human-in-the-loop steps within your OpenAI Agents SDK workflow. The agent drafts the Flipt constraint, but your code forces a manual approval before saving.

Setup guide

Set up Flipt 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 Flipt tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Flipt MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the SDK and pass the Flipt endpoint to the `MCPServerStreamableHttp` constructor. Your agent automatically registers all nine tools, including `list_flags` and `list_rollouts`, without manual schema mapping.

Yes, you can filter the exposed tools in your agent setup. Limit the agent to `list_namespaces` and `list_flags` to prevent it from calling write tools like `create_constraint` or `create_variant`.

You pass your Flipt token to the MCP server configuration. The agent uses `list_tokens` to manage credentials securely, keeping your API keys out of the main prompt context.

You set up a supervisor agent that monitors the worker agent's calls to `create_distribution`. If the worker attempts an invalid rollout, the supervisor intercepts the action using standard OpenAI SDK mechanics.

The SDK retrieves your namespaces, flags, rollouts, segments, rules, and tokens. All data remains inside your V8 Isolate Sandbox on Vinkius, meaning your raw feature flag configurations are never sent to OpenAI for model training.
