How to Use the HrFlow.ai MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK
Build production-grade recruiting agents with OpenAI Agents SDK that parse and score candidates safely.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect HrFlow.ai MCP to OpenAI Agents SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect HrFlow.ai to OpenAI Agents SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Route candidates across OpenAI Agents SDK
You need structured data before an agent can evaluate a candidate. The `parse_profile` tool takes raw resume files and turns them into clean JSON strings. This MCP connection handles the heavy lifting of document extraction so your code focuses entirely on routing logic. Once parsed, your intake agent hands the data off to a specialized scoring agent. The `list_sources` and `list_profiles` tools let your agents verify exactly where the candidate originated before running background tasks. Handoffs work perfectly because the data shape remains consistent.
Evaluate talent with strict guardrails
Unchecked AI hiring creates massive compliance risks. Using `score_profiles`, your agent evaluates an applicant against a specific job description. The OpenAI framework enforces built-in guardrails that validate the agent's logic before it rejects anyone. You can trace exactly why a candidate received a specific rating. If a recruiter questions a decision, the agent uses `ask_profile` to pull exact quotes from the resume that justify the match score. Transparency comes standard.
Map career trajectories via MCP Server
Standard keyword matching misses the actual story of a candidate's career. The `unfold_profile` tool analyzes past roles to predict future capabilities. It reads the progression timeline rather than just scanning for job titles. Combine this with `search_jobs` to automatically match passive candidates to new openings. Your agent searches the HrFlow boards via `list_boards` and surfaces roles the candidate never even considered. You find better talent without manual sourcing.
Set up HrFlow.ai MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
openai-agentspackage (pip install openai-agents) - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install the SDK
Run
pip install openai-agentsto install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed. - 2
Connect via SSE transport
Use
MCPServerSsewith your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all HrFlow.ai tools at runtime. - 3
Create your Agent
Pass the MCP to
Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives HrFlow.ai tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically. - 4
Run the agent
Call
Runner.run(agent, prompt)to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate HrFlow.ai tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.
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="HrFlow.ai Agent",
instructions="You have access to HrFlow.ai tools.",
mcp_servers=[server],
)
result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
print(result.final_output)
