How to Use the FOSSA (License Compliance) MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I start using FOSSA (License Compliance) with the OpenAI Agents SDK?

Just pip install openai-agents and point the MCPServerStreamableHttp client to your Vinkius endpoint URL. The SDK auto-discovers all the FOSSA tools, so your agent can immediately start working on tasks like 'find all projects with log4j'.

Q: Can my agent block a CI/CD pipeline using this?

Yes. Your agent can run checkvulnerabilities on a new revision during a build. If it finds critical issues, your agent's own logic can then fail the pipeline by returning a non-zero exit code or calling another tool.

Perplexity

Scan Your Entire Codebase

Start by getting a full inventory of what FOSSA is tracking. Your agent can call `list_projects` to see every connected repository. From there, it can drill down into a specific one to begin an inspection. Once your agent has a project in its sights, it uses `list_revisions` to see every commit FOSSA has scanned. It can then pull details for a target commit with `get_revision`, which sets the stage for a full dependency audit.

Automate Dependency Audits

This is where it gets serious. Your agent takes a revision and calls `get_revision_dependencies` to map out the entire dependency tree, including the transitive ones you didn't know you had. It gets a complete, machine-readable list of every package in your build. With that list, the agent runs `check_vulnerabilities`. The OpenAI SDK's built-in guardrails can validate the agent's plan before it executes, ensuring you're checking the right things. It’s a safety net for your automated compliance checks.

Find a Bad Package with the OpenAI Agents SDK

A new CVE drops for a popular library. Your agent needs to know where it's used, and fast. The `get_parent_projects` tool is built for exactly this scenario. You give the agent a dependency, and it calls the tool to get back every single project that includes it. This MCP Server makes it simple for your agent to trace the blast radius of a vulnerability across your organization so you can prioritize fixes.

Setup guide

Set up FOSSA (License Compliance) 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 FOSSA (License Compliance) tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about FOSSA (License Compliance) MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Just `pip install openai-agents` and point the `MCPServerStreamableHttp` client to your Vinkius endpoint URL. The SDK auto-discovers all the FOSSA tools, so your agent can immediately start working on tasks like 'find all projects with log4j'.

Yes. Your agent can run `check_vulnerabilities` on a new revision during a build. If it finds critical issues, your agent's own logic can then fail the pipeline by returning a non-zero exit code or calling another tool.

The SDK itself doesn't have a tool filter. You control access by writing clear instructions and a focused system prompt. You can also use the SDK's guardrails feature to manually review and approve tool calls before they run.

It's the combination of automated discovery and safety. The agent finds the tools automatically, and the SDK's guardrails give you a chance to approve complex actions, like a multi-step dependency audit, before they execute. It's designed for production systems.

Your FOSSA project names, revision hashes, and dependency lists are processed in an ephemeral, sandboxed environment on Vinkius. We use your endpoint token for authentication, and the data is only held in memory for the duration of the API call. Nothing is logged or stored.
