How to Use the Hostfully MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect Hostfully to the OpenAI Agents SDK?

Install the package using pip install openai-agents first. Then, initialize MCPServerStreamableHttp with your Vinkius endpoint and pass the server instance inside the mcpservers list of your Agent constructor.

Q: How do I optimize tool discovery latency with this setup?

Set cacheToolsList=True inside your streamable HTTP parameters. This stops the client from querying the Hostfully schema on every turn, shaving off critical milliseconds.

Run safe, production-grade vacation rental workflows using the OpenAI Agents SDK and live Hostfully property data.

Guarded lead tracking with OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agents fetch real-time booking inquiries using the `list_leads` tool to check incoming requests. By combining this with `get_lead`, your system parses guest details and updates your pipeline without manual data entry. The OpenAI Agents SDK enforces strict runtime guardrails on these tools so your model never processes bad payload structures. You get clean, validated lead files piped directly into your sales agents.

Multi-agent coordination for Hostfully operations

We use `list_properties` to identify vacant units and coordinate turnover tasks between specialized agents. One agent pulls the raw inventory list, while a second agent calls `list_service_providers` to assign cleaners. Handoffs happen natively inside the OpenAI Agents SDK execution loop. This setup means your coordination agent handles the schedule, while a safety agent double-checks owner rules via `list_owners` before booking any vendor.

Trace Hostfully MCP Server calls in production

Connecting your Hostfully MCP Server to OpenAI Agents SDK gives you instant visibility into every property query. Running `get_property` or `get_agency` triggers transparent spans that show up on your telemetry dashboard. Debugging stale listing data or incorrect agency configurations becomes straightforward because you see the exact payload exchanged. Set `cacheToolsList=True` during your HTTP setup to prevent redundant schema fetches on every request.

Setup guide

Set up Hostfully 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 Hostfully tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Hostfully MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the package using `pip install openai-agents` first. Then, initialize `MCPServerStreamableHttp` with your Vinkius endpoint and pass the server instance inside the `mcp_servers` list of your Agent constructor.

Yes, you can route tasks between specialized workers. One worker can list vacant homes using `list_properties` while another handles vendor dispatch using `list_service_providers`.

The SDK gives you built-in schema validation and execution guardrails. You won't risk your agent writing malformed dates or breaking your booking pipeline when calling `list_leads`.

Set `cacheToolsList=True` inside your streamable HTTP parameters. This stops the client from querying the Hostfully schema on every turn, shaving off critical milliseconds.

Your guest records, lead details, and owner files stay inside your secure Vinkius sandbox. This MCP Server processes your keys on ephemeral V8 isolates, meaning no booking data is stored or logged outside your local environment.
