How to Use the Gameball Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: What kind of loyalty programs can I build with these MCP tools?

You can build point-based systems for e-commerce. Use trackorder to award points for purchases and holdpoints to let customers redeem them. You can also use sendevents for more creative gamification, like awarding points for writing a review.

Build production-ready loyalty agents with the OpenAI Agents SDK. Have them manage customer points, track orders, and react to events.

Manage Customer Profiles with Guardrails

Your agent can create and update customer profiles. The `create_or_update_customer` tool is idempotent, so you can run it multiple times without creating duplicate records. It's safe for automated workflows. Once a profile exists, the agent can check a points balance using `get_customer_balance` or pull a full history with `get_customer_activities`. The built-in guardrails in the OpenAI Agents SDK let you review these actions before they run, preventing accidental data access.

Automate the Full Order Loyalty Flow

Let your agent handle the entire order loyalty process. When a customer checks out, the agent uses `hold_points` to temporarily reserve points for a discount. These holds expire automatically, so there's no risk of locking points forever. After payment, the agent calls `track_order` to finalize the redemption and award new points for the purchase. If something goes wrong, you can use `refund_transaction`. The OpenAI dashboard gives you a full trace of this entire sequence.

Build Event-Driven Gamification with your MCP Server

This MCP Server lets your agent react to custom user actions. Use the `send_events` tool to log things like account logins, profile completions, or product reviews. Your agent can then award bonus points for these activities. This turns a simple points system into a real gamification engine. Because the OpenAI Agents SDK can hand off tasks between specialized agents, you can have one agent watching for events and another managing the points ledger.

Setup guide

Set up Gameball 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 Gameball Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
