How to Use the Illumidesk MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can OpenAI Agents SDK handle large Illumidesk data sets?

Yes, but keep your tool calls focused. Use filters in listmemberships to pull only the specific data your agent needs for its current task.

Perplexity

Automate course and user management

Your agent uses `list_courses` and `list_users` to pull real-time data from your LMS. It identifies active enrollments without manual lookups. This MCP Server handles the connection while your agent processes the roster. You get accurate data to drive your custom automation logic.

Monitor campus activity with OpenAI Agents SDK

Trigger `get_activity_logs` to audit system events for any specific campus. Your agent filters these logs to flag unusual patterns immediately. It keeps your security team informed by parsing raw log data into readable summaries. You define the thresholds for what constitutes an alert.

Configure LTI deployments securely

Use `list_lti_deployments` and `list_lti_credentials` to verify your LMS handshake status. Your agent checks these settings before pushing new course content. This prevents authentication failures for students and instructors. You maintain control over your integrations through your agent's execution loop.

Setup guide

Set up Illumidesk 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 Illumidesk tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
