How to Use the HiBob MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK agent update HiBob employee records?

Yes, it can. The agent uses tools like inviteemployee or completetask to push changes directly into your environment.

Connect your OpenAI Agents SDK to HiBob to automate payroll, leave requests, and employee directory management.

Automate HR tasks with OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent handles time-off requests and status checks without you opening the HiBob dashboard. It uses `request_time_off` to process leave and `get_whos_out` to keep your team calendar updated. Everything stays tracked within your OpenAI dashboard. The agent executes these calls directly, ensuring you see exactly what happens in your HR records.

Manage employee data securely

Get instant access to staff profiles using `list_public_profiles` or dig into specific records with `search_employees`. Your agent filters and presents this data based on your specific prompts. Sensitive compensation details are retrieved through `get_employee_compensation`. Your agent keeps this data strictly within your predefined guardrails during the session.

Sync tasks and payroll history

Keep your company operations moving by having your agent monitor `list_open_tasks`. It marks items as finished using `complete_task` the moment they are wrapped up. Financial data flows straight into your workflow via `get_payroll_history`. You get the numbers you need to verify records without manual data entry.

Setup guide

Set up HiBob 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 HiBob tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about HiBob MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You initialize the connection using the MCPServerStreamableHttp class. Pass your endpoint URL to the constructor and add the server instance to your agent's configuration.

Yes, it can. The agent uses tools like `invite_employee` or `complete_task` to push changes directly into your environment.

The server will return an error status. You should implement a retry logic in your agent code to handle these responses gracefully.

Vinkius manages the connection through an ephemeral, zero-trust sandbox. Your HiBob data only travels between your authenticated agent and the API endpoints.

It interacts with payroll history, leave balances, and employee contact profiles. These are retrieved directly from the HiBob API and parsed into your agent's context.
