How to Use the GatherUp MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can my OpenAI Agent handle multiple business locations in GatherUp?

Yes. The agent can call listbusinesslocations to get a list of all your sites. Then, it can use the locationId from the results to run other tools like getreviewmetrics for a specific branch.

Q: What's the best way to search reviews with GatherUp and OpenAI Agents?

Use the searchallreviews tool. Your OpenAI Agent can pass a simple query string, like 'service was slow', to find relevant external reviews and internal feedback at the same time.

Connect your OpenAI Agent to GatherUp and automate review management with built-in safety checks and full tracing.

Automate Review Outreach Safely

This server exposes a `send_review_invite` tool for your agent. You can use it to ask for reviews after a customer interaction. The difference is OpenAI's built-in guardrails, which let you programmatically approve or deny the agent's action before it runs. That means your agent can propose sending invites to everyone it finds with `list_customer_contacts`, but you hold the final say. It’s the safe way to automate outreach without the risk of your agent going rogue and spamming your entire customer base.

Triage Feedback with Specialist Agents

Give one agent the job of monitoring reviews with `list_online_reviews`. When it finds a negative review, it can hand the task off to a second, specialized agent whose only job is to respond using `reply_to_online_review`. This is a solid pattern for building production systems. OpenAI's framework manages the state transfer between agents. You get a clean separation of concerns: one agent for monitoring, another for acting. It’s just a smarter way to work.

Trace Every Action in your OpenAI Dashboard

When your agent uses a tool from this MCP Server, the entire transaction is logged. You'll see the inputs, the outputs, and which agent took the action. It gives you a complete audit trail for every customer you sync with `add_new_customer` or every piece of feedback you address. For a production system, this isn't optional—it's a requirement. You get full visibility into what your agents are doing on your behalf, directly within the OpenAI platform. No extra setup needed.

Setup guide

Set up GatherUp 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 GatherUp tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about GatherUp MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

First, install the SDK and get your Vinkius endpoint URL. Then, instantiate `MCPServerStreamableHttp` with that URL and pass it to your Agent's constructor in the `mcp_servers` list. The tools are discovered automatically.

Yes. The agent can call `list_business_locations` to get a list of all your sites. Then, it can use the `locationId` from the results to run other tools like `get_review_metrics` for a specific branch.

Use the `search_all_reviews` tool. Your OpenAI Agent can pass a simple query string, like 'service was slow', to find relevant external reviews and internal feedback at the same time.

It provides a stable, managed connection to GatherUp's API. Instead of building and maintaining your own tool functions, your agent gets a pre-built, authenticated, and auto-discoverable toolset that just works.

Yes. This server only processes the data required for its tools, like customer contact info and review text. It runs in an ephemeral, zero-trust sandbox, and all authentication is handled by your single Vinkius token. Your data is not stored.
