How to Use the Flodesk MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect the Flodesk MCP Server to my OpenAI Agents SDK pipeline?

Install the package, then initialize the connection using MCPServerStreamableHttp with your Vinkius endpoint. Pass this server instance in the mcpservers list when instantiating your Agent.

Q: How do I pull opt-in forms for my agents to use?

Your agent runs listforms to fetch active signup forms from your account. It then presents these options to the user or embeds them programmatically based on user intent.

Run production-grade email marketing automations with guardrails using the Flodesk MCP Server and OpenAI Agents SDK.

Guarded subscriber enrollment with OpenAI Agents SDK

The `create_subscriber` tool registers new email contacts directly from your OpenAI Agents SDK application. Your agent validates the email format and checks compliance flags before executing the call, preventing bad data from hitting your marketing lists. If a user asks to subscribe, the agent triggers `add_to_segment` to put them in the right bucket. The SDK's built-in guardrails block unauthorized bulk imports, so you never accidentally violate CAN-SPAM laws.

Safe automated workflow triggers

The `trigger_workflow` tool kicks off marketing sequences for specific subscribers through your OpenAI Agents SDK setup. You set hard limits on which automated sequences an agent can start, preventing runaways. Before firing the trigger, the agent calls `list_workflows` to find the exact ID. The OpenAI dashboard traces the entire execution path, giving you a clear audit trail of every automated email sent.

Dynamic custom field provisioning

The `create_custom_field` tool lets your agent define new metadata properties on the fly within your Flodesk account. When your OpenAI Agents SDK system identifies a new user trait, it generates the field to store it. The agent then runs `list_custom_fields` to verify the structure before updating any profiles. This approach keeps your Flodesk MCP setup clean without requiring manual setup in the Flodesk web interface.

Setup guide

Set up Flodesk 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 Flodesk tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Flodesk MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You manage rate limits by using the SDK's built-in retry logic and setting `cacheToolsList=True` during initialization. This prevents your agent from repeatedly querying the schema of the Flodesk MCP Server, saving valuable API quota.

Yes, you can dedicate one agent to subscriber validation using `get_subscriber` and hand off to a marketing agent to run `trigger_workflow`. This keeps your Flodesk MCP setup safe by restricting write access to specific specialized agents.

Install the package, then initialize the connection using `MCPServerStreamableHttp` with your Vinkius endpoint. Pass this server instance in the `mcp_servers` list when instantiating your Agent.

Your agent runs `list_forms` to fetch active signup forms from your account. It then presents these options to the user or embeds them programmatically based on user intent.

Yes, subscriber details like email addresses and names never persist on Vinkius. The server operates in an ephemeral, zero-trust V8 sandbox that immediately destroys all runtime data once the API call completes.
