How to Use the HetrixTools MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect HetrixTools to OpenAI Agents SDK?

Install openai-agents. Create an MCPServerStreamableHttp instance pointing to your HetrixTools MCP Server URL. Pass it to the Agent constructor inside the mcpservers list.

Q: How does HetrixTools handle maintenance mode in OpenAI Agents SDK?

Your agent calls setmaintenancemode with a specific mode flag. It passes 1 for normal operation, 2 to suppress alerts but keep notifications, or 3 for complete silence during upgrades.

Q: Will the OpenAI agent wait for the IP blacklist check to finish?

The checkipblacklist tool takes a few minutes to process on the backend. The agent triggers the check, yields control, and polls the results based on your system configuration.

Connect HetrixTools to your OpenAI Agents SDK system to build automated incident response workflows.

Automate incident response with OpenAI Agents SDK

The `list_uptime_monitors` MCP tool pulls current health metrics directly into your OpenAI workflow. You need your agent to react when servers go down. If a node fails, the agent sees the status change instantly. Guardrails prevent accidental deletions. You can configure handoffs where a diagnostic agent runs `list_uptime_reports` to grab historical data, then passes the context to a remediation agent that triggers `set_maintenance_mode` to suppress false alarms.

Catch mail delivery failures instantly

The `check_domain_blacklist` tool runs an on-demand scan against known spam databases. Your agent checks this endpoint the minute a customer complains about missing emails. It takes the guesswork out of deliverability issues. You can also trace IP reputation over time. Pass an IPv4 address to `check_ip_blacklist`. The agent waits a few minutes for the scan to finish, reads the results, and logs the incident in your OpenAI dashboard for review.

Manage HetrixTools API limits

The `get_account_usage` tool checks your current API and resource consumption. Your agent runs this before executing heavy bulk operations to ensure it stays within billing limits. If the agent needs to notify the team, it pulls the right IDs using `list_contact_lists`. It then formats the payload and uses `add_uptime_monitor` to deploy new tracking nodes with the correct notification targets attached.

Setup guide

Set up HetrixTools 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 HetrixTools tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about HetrixTools MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install `openai-agents`. Create an `MCPServerStreamableHttp` instance pointing to your HetrixTools MCP Server URL. Pass it to the Agent constructor inside the `mcp_servers` list.

Yes. The agent formats a JSON string containing the type, target, label, and contact ID. It passes that payload to the `add_uptime_monitor` tool to spin up tracking instantly.

Your agent calls `set_maintenance_mode` with a specific mode flag. It passes 1 for normal operation, 2 to suppress alerts but keep notifications, or 3 for complete silence during upgrades.

The `check_ip_blacklist` tool takes a few minutes to process on the backend. The agent triggers the check, yields control, and polls the results based on your system configuration.

This MCP Server processes target IPs, domain names, and contact list IDs. Your infrastructure metrics route through the Vinkius V8 Isolate Sandbox directly to your OpenAI agent. No logs persist after the ephemeral session closes.
