Perplexity

Search and fetch song metadata

Your agent can grab lyrics and artist info instantly. Use `search` to locate specific tracks or `get_song` to pull the raw content into your context. It handles the heavy lifting of metadata lookups. Your agent gets the data it needs without manual scraping.

Manage musical annotations

Need to track lyrical meaning? Your agent uses `create_annotation` and `update_annotation` to refine the knowledge base in real-time. You can also maintain quality control. Tools like `upvote_annotation` and `downvote_annotation` keep the database clean and relevant for your users.

Deep dive into artist discographies

Map out an artist's full catalog using `get_artist` and `get_artist_songs`. It gives your agent a complete view of an artist's work. This makes it easy to build complex queries. Your agent can traverse the relationship between artists and their specific tracks.

Setup guide

Set up Genius 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 Genius Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
