How to Use the Greenhouse Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How does Greenhouse Alternative prevent OpenAI Agents SDK from deleting candidates accidentally?

You restrict access to destructive tools like deleteapplication using OpenAI's built-in guardrails. The agent must pass a verification check before running any deletion, keeping your candidate database secure.

Q: Can I use Greenhouse Alternative to track partner referrals with OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes, your agent invokes getpartnercandidates to track referral pipelines automatically. The SDK handles the API authentication token securely via Vinkius, so your agents never expose raw credentials.

Q: What is the setup process for Greenhouse Alternative in OpenAI Agents SDK?

You install openai-agents and initialize MCPServerStreamableHttp pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Enabling cacheToolsList=True ensures your agents discover tools like listboardjobs instantly during runtime.

Q: How do I monitor tool execution errors in this MCP Server?

You track every tool call, including getauditlogevents, directly through the OpenAI developer dashboard. This gives you absolute visibility into how your agents interact with your recruiting data.

Stop manually sync'ing applicant data. Let your OpenAI Agents SDK pipeline run Greenhouse Alternative tasks with strict execution guardrails.

Perplexity

Automate candidate pipeline updates safely

The `update_application` tool modifies candidate statuses and stages directly inside your recruiting pipeline. Your OpenAI Agents SDK agents use this to transition applicants who passed technical screens, relying on built-in guardrails to validate candidate data before execution. By combining this with `get_candidate_activity_feed`, your system logs every touchpoint to prevent duplicate outreach. This setup runs inside Vinkius's secure sandbox, meaning your production agent updates hiring pipelines without risking data corruption.

Sync job listings to external partner boards

The `list_partner_jobs` tool pulls active job openings so your agents can distribute them across partner networks. OpenAI Agents SDK handles the handoff between sourcing agents and publishing agents, ensuring only approved roles get sent out. To track which channels actually bring in qualified talent, your agent uses `create_partner_tracking_link` for every post. Our MCP Server provides clean attribution data directly in your tracking system without writing custom routing logic.

Process incoming applications with OpenAI Agents SDK

The `submit_board_application` tool runs on this MCP Server to push new applicant profiles directly into your core recruiting database. OpenAI's tracing dashboard lets you monitor this tool's execution in real-time, catching failed resume parses before they turn into silent drop-offs. When a candidate applies, your agent immediately runs `add_application_to_candidate` to link their profile to the correct open role. Manual data entry that slows down hiring loops is completely eliminated.

Setup guide

Set up Greenhouse 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 Greenhouse Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
