How to Use the Gupshup Messaging MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can I use Gupshup Messaging to send template updates to users in OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes. Call sendtemplatemessage with the required parameters to push pre-approved content. The server handles the formatting so your agent only needs to supply the data.

Q: Does the Gupshup Messaging MCP Server support media via OpenAI Agents SDK?

It does. Use sendmediamessage to pass image, video, or document URLs. The tool accepts the type and path, then coordinates with the API to deliver the file.

Native Tool Discovery for OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent automatically detects the six messaging tools upon connection. It treats the Gupshup Messaging MCP Server like a local library, mapping parameters directly to the API endpoints. Use `send_text_message` or `send_media_message` without custom wrappers. The SDK handles the transport layer, letting you focus on the logic behind your agent's responses.

Validated Message Execution

The SDK checks your agent's intent against the tool schema before hitting the wire. If your agent tries to pass an invalid phone number to `send_template_message`, the system halts execution immediately. This prevents malformed requests from hitting the Gupshup gateway. You get clean error traces in the dashboard, not silent failures.

Production Handoffs and Tracing

Trigger `send_interactive_message` during agent handoffs to keep users in the loop. Every action is logged through the standard tracing pipeline. You can verify exactly when a template was sent or a reaction was applied. It keeps your messaging history auditable and predictable.

Setup guide

Set up Gupshup Messaging 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 Gupshup Messaging tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
