How to Use the Fly.io Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect the Fly.io Alternative to my OpenAI Agents SDK pipeline?

Install the SDK, then configure MCPServerStreamableHttp pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Pass this server instance inside the mcpservers list when initializing your agent, and the tools will auto-discover immediately.

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK agent delete live databases using this Fly.io Alternative?

Only if you allow it. The deletemachine tool requires explicit parameters, and you can use the OpenAI Agents SDK guardrails to block destructive actions on production app names.

Q: Does the Fly.io Alternative support live configuration changes within OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes. Your agent can call updatemachine to change memory allocation or update Docker image tags, followed by restartmachine to apply the changes to the running VM.

Q: How does tool caching work with the Fly.io Alternative MCP Server and OpenAI Agents SDK?

You can set cacheToolsList=True in your server configuration. This prevents the SDK from refetching the schemas for all 13 tools on every single run, which lowers latency.

Spin up, modify, and tear down global edge VMs directly from your OpenAI Agents SDK workflows with strict safety guardrails.

Control Edge VMs Safely via OpenAI Agents SDK

Run edge VMs without leaving your Python code. This integration lets your agent call `create_machine` with specific CPU configurations and Docker images, then boot them using `start_machine`. You don't have to manually click through a dashboard or run CLI commands when traffic spikes. The OpenAI Agents SDK adds built-in guardrails to these execution steps. If your agent tries to trigger a destructive `delete_machine` call, the SDK validates the parameters against your safety rules before the HTTP request ever hits the Fly.io API.

Multi-Agent Coordination for Global Apps

Split infrastructure management across specialized agents. Have one agent monitor resources using `list_machines` and `list_volumes`, while another handles configuration updates using `update_machine`. They hand off tasks to each other using native OpenAI routing. This setup stops a single agent from having too much control. Your monitoring agent only reads state, while your deployment agent holds the keys to `restart_machine`. You track the entire handoff chain and tool execution path on your OpenAI developer dashboard.

Manage Edge Storage and Certs with this MCP Server

Provision persistent storage on the fly. Your agent checks existing disks via `list_volumes` and provisions new ones with `create_volume` when a database node needs more room. It handles the mapping to the machine configuration automatically. You can also track domain security without external cron jobs. The agent runs `list_certificates` to inspect Let's Encrypt status and flag pending or failed renewals before users notice.

Setup guide

Set up Fly.io 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 Fly.io Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Fly.io 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 Fly.io 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="Fly.io Alternative Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Fly.io Alternative tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
