How to Use the Giftbit MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Trigger reward orders with OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent handles fulfillment without leaving the Python runtime. Use `order_email_rewards` to dispatch digital cards to recipients as soon as your logic triggers a send event. Everything happens inside the agent execution loop. The `create_reward_links` tool lets you generate assets on the fly for custom delivery flows.

Verify Giftbit status in your agent pipeline

Don't guess if a reward reached the inbox. Your agent calls `get_gift_status` to pull real-time delivery logs, ensuring your internal records match the actual state. Use `check_api_health` as a pre-flight check in your agent's tool chain. If the connection drops, the system catches it before the agent attempts an order.

Manage campaign inventory as an MCP Server

Your agent needs to know what brands are available. Run `list_reward_brands` to fetch the current catalog and filter options based on region via `list_delivery_regions`. This MCP Server keeps your agent informed. You can query `list_reward_campaigns` to see how previous sends performed without manual dashboard checks.

Setup guide

Set up Giftbit 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 Giftbit tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
