How to Use the Friendbuy MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK
Connect the Friendbuy MCP Server to the OpenAI Agents SDK to automate referral tracking and reward issuance with built-in guardrails.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Friendbuy MCP to OpenAI Agents SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Friendbuy to OpenAI Agents SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate conversions with this MCP Server
`track_conversion_signup` and `track_conversion_purchase` let your agent log new users and their spending directly into your referral system. You trigger these actions straight from your Python application logic. The SDK validates the payload before execution, stopping malformed conversion data from corrupting your metrics. Handoffs make this powerful. One specialized agent handles user onboarding, then passes the context to a secondary agent that fires the conversion tool. You get full visibility into the execution chain through the OpenAI dashboard.
Manage reward pipelines programmatically
`list_referral_rewards` pulls the exact payout status for your users. Your agent reads this data to answer customer support queries about missing discounts or pending credits. It checks `list_tracked_purchases` to verify the underlying transactions that generated those rewards. You don't have to guess if the connection dropped. `check_api_connection` pings the endpoint to confirm authorization before running batch reward audits. If it fails, the agent halts the workflow and alerts your engineering team.
Generate and audit referral codes
`create_referral_code` generates unique share links on demand. You map this tool to your user registration flow, letting the agent provision codes instantly. It immediately follows up with `get_referral_code_status` to confirm the code is active and ready for distribution. Auditing infrastructure happens through `list_webhooks`. Your agent queries the active event listeners to ensure your backend is receiving the real-time callbacks. This integration keeps your tracking loop closed and accurate.

Call
Runner.run(agent, prompt)to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Friendbuy tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.
import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner

async def main():
async with MCPServerSse(
url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
) as server:
agent = Agent(
name="Friendbuy Agent",
instructions="You have access to Friendbuy tools.",

)
result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
