How to Use the iFax MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can the OpenAI Agents SDK handle failed iFax transmissions?

Yes. Your agent can call getfaxstatus to identify failures and then execute resendfax to retry the operation automatically.

Q: Is it possible to list sent faxes using the OpenAI Agents SDK?

Absolutely. Your agent uses the listfaxes tool to retrieve transmission history, allowing it to audit sent documents in real time.

Integrate iFax directly into your OpenAI Agents SDK production pipelines for reliable, automated document transmission.

Automate fax transmission with OpenAI Agents SDK

Trigger document delivery by invoking `send_fax` within your agent's execution loop. Your agent processes the payload and initiates transmission without manual intervention. Built-in guardrails monitor every call. This MCP server ensures your agent handles file metadata and base64 content correctly before the request hits the wire.

Real-time fax tracking for OpenAI Agents SDK

Use `get_fax_status` to monitor delivery progression across your agent's workflow. It provides immediate updates on whether your document reached the destination. If transmission fails, your agent triggers `resend_fax` to attempt delivery again. This keeps your communication logs accurate and your processes moving.

Full document management with OpenAI Agents SDK

Review your history by querying `list_faxes` to pull records of sent documents. Your agent parses this output to maintain internal synchronization. When you need to process incoming files, `download_fax` saves the data locally for further analysis. This creates a closed loop for your document operations.

Setup guide

Set up iFax 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 iFax tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about iFax MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You initialize an MCPServerStreamableHttp instance using your endpoint URL. Pass this object into your agent's mcp_servers list to enable tool discovery.

Yes. Your agent can call `get_fax_status` to identify failures and then execute `resend_fax` to retry the operation automatically.

Absolutely. Your agent uses the `list_faxes` tool to retrieve transmission history, allowing it to audit sent documents in real time.

You provide a single endpoint token during the server connection phase. Vinkius handles the rest of the authentication handshake.

Your documents remain in an ephemeral V8 sandbox during processing. The server only handles the specific fax metadata and base64 content you transmit.
