How to Use the HRBlade MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

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

Install the package with pip install openai-agents. Initialize MCPServerStreamableHttp with your endpoint URL and pass it to the mcpservers array in your Agent constructor.

Q: Can the OpenAI Agents SDK cache HRBlade endpoints?

Yes. Set cacheToolsList=True when configuring the server connection. This stops the agent from refetching the tool definitions on every turn.

Auto-discover HRBlade MCP Server tools

The `list_candidates` tool pulls your entire recruiting pipeline directly into your agent's context window. You pass the server to the Agent constructor, and it maps the endpoints without manual configuration. When a recruiter asks for an update, the agent hits `get_candidate_details` to pull the exact status. OpenAI's built-in tracing logs every step, so you know exactly which records the agent touched.

Safe, guarded interview scheduling

Your agent uses `create_interview` to generate new templates by passing a JSON string with the role requirements. Because this SDK enforces strict guardrails, it validates the parameters before execution. You don't want agents spamming people. When it triggers `send_interview_invitation`, the system checks your safety constraints first. You get automated outreach without the risk of rogue emails.

Track video responses autonomously

The `list_interview_responses` tool grabs candidate video submissions as soon as they land. Your specialized screening agent reads this data and hands off the best profiles to the scheduling agent. To check existing templates, the agent calls `list_interviews`. By setting `cacheToolsList=True` in your setup, these repeated lookups happen fast, keeping API overhead low during heavy hiring cycles.

Setup guide

Set up HRBlade 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 HRBlade tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about HRBlade MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the package with `pip install openai-agents`. Initialize `MCPServerStreamableHttp` with your endpoint URL and pass it to the `mcp_servers` array in your Agent constructor.

Yes. Set `cacheToolsList=True` when configuring the server connection. This stops the agent from refetching the tool definitions on every turn.

No. The SDK auto-discovers all six tools, from interview creation to candidate lookup. You just provide the connection parameters.

You build one agent to fetch records and another to send invites. The framework manages the transition state while keeping the ATS connection active across both.

Vinkius runs the integration inside an ephemeral V8 Isolate Sandbox. Candidate video links and personal details pass through a zero-trust tunnel directly to your client, leaving no persistent footprint on our infrastructure.
