Perplexity

Automate your media organization

Stop manually sorting files in your browser. Use your agent to trigger `create_album` or `update_asset` based on logic defined in your production codebase. Your agent inspects your library using `list_assets` and executes cleanup tasks. It handles the heavy lifting so your media remains indexed without human intervention.

Manage user access programmatically

Control your home server infrastructure via code. The agent uses `create_user` and `list_users` to verify active accounts and manage permissions for family members. This keeps your self-hosted setup tidy. You define the rules, and the agent enforces them across your entire Immich (Google Photos Alternative) instance.

Validate actions with built-in guardrails

Your agent validates every call before it hits your server. By using this MCP Server, your OpenAI agent checks parameters against your specific schema before execution. This adds a layer of safety to your automated workflows. If an action falls outside your defined constraints, the agent stops before it modifies your library data.

Setup guide

Set up Immich (Google Photos Alternative) 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 Immich (Google Photos Alternative) tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
