How to Use the HirePOS MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect the HirePOS MCP server to the OpenAI Agents SDK?

Install the openai-agents package via pip. Create an MCPServerStreamableHttp instance pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Pass it to your agent constructor using the mcpservers parameter.

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK system automatically bill HirePOS customers?

Yes. Your agent can read billing data using listinvoices and getinvoice. You define the exact conditions for when the agent should trigger external payment workflows.

Q: Does the HirePOS MCP server support specialized agent handoffs?

You configure that entirely in the client. One agent uses listitemsbycategory to help a customer pick tools, then hands off to a booking agent that executes createhire.

Perplexity

Automate booking workflows with the MCP Server

The `check_item_availability` tool gives your OpenAI agents direct read access to your physical rental inventory. When a contractor texts asking for an excavator, your agent hits the endpoint to confirm actual stock in the yard. It doesn't stop at checking stock. The agent chains that data into `create_hire` to lock in the reservation immediately. You track the entire interaction through the OpenAI dashboard, ensuring the model followed your system constraints before confirming the rental.

Track overdue returns and generate invoices

Your finance agent can pull late rentals automatically using the `list_overdue_hires` tool. It scans the database for past-due equipment without needing a human to click through calendar views. Once identified, the agent hands the task off to a billing specialist agent. That agent calls `get_invoice` to pull the exact penalty amounts and emails the customer. Built-in guardrails prevent the system from double-billing an account — and this is crucial for your cash flow.

Manage customer profiles securely

Creating new accounts happens in seconds with the `create_customer` endpoint. A dedicated onboarding agent takes the customer's details and pushes them straight into your database. If a returning customer calls in, the agent runs `get_customer` to pull their rental history. You get fast, context-aware responses because the agent has the actual account data in memory, not a summary.

Setup guide

Set up HirePOS 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 HirePOS tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about HirePOS MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the `openai-agents` package via pip. Create an `MCPServerStreamableHttp` instance pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Pass it to your agent constructor using the `mcp_servers` parameter.

Yes. Your agent can read billing data using `list_invoices` and `get_invoice`. You define the exact conditions for when the agent should trigger external payment workflows.

You configure that entirely in the client. One agent uses `list_items_by_category` to help a customer pick tools, then hands off to a booking agent that executes `create_hire`.

Tool discovery happens automatically, but you must pass the server instance correctly. Set `cacheToolsList=True` for better performance and check your Vinkius auth token.

The server processes customer names, billing addresses, and rental histories via endpoints like `get_customer`. All requests run through a V8 Isolate Sandbox. The connection is ephemeral and drops immediately after the tool executes.
