Perplexity

Verify organizational context via OpenAI Agents SDK

The `list_business_entities` tool pulls active legal entities directly into your OpenAI Agents SDK runtime. This lets your specialized agents verify corporate structures before routing payroll or HR requests. Then, the agent uses `list_locations` to map offices to these entities. The built-in guardrails in the OpenAI Agents SDK ensure that your agent never attempts to query nonexistent offices or unauthorized entities during automated onboarding.

Track training and skills with this MCP Server

The `list_skills` tool exposes your company's skill matrix so your OpenAI Agents SDK can audit employee capabilities in real time. Your agent queries this along with `list_training` to find gaps in training records. Because these tools are run within this MCP Server, the OpenAI dashboard tracks every single tool call. You see exactly when your agent checks a skill profile and how it decides to flag missing certifications.

Securely access pay and position details

The `list_remuneration` tool gives your agent access to salary structures, while `list_positions` provides the associated titles. This allows your OpenAI Agents SDK to handle internal transfers and role changes with complete visibility into compensation changes. You configure agent handoffs so that only your designated compensation agent can run these tools. Other agents in the SDK automatically route payroll inquiries to this specific agent, keeping sensitive compensation data restricted.

Setup guide

Set up intelliHR 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 intelliHR tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about intelliHR MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You provide your intelliHR API key when configuring the server on Vinkius. The OpenAI Agents SDK then communicates with the secure Vinkius endpoint, keeping your production credentials hidden from the agents themselves.

Yes, you configure this directly in your OpenAI Agents SDK agent definitions. You can restrict certain agents to only run `list_people` while reserving `list_remuneration` for specialized finance agents.

The SDK handles rate limits through its standard execution loop. When querying large directories via `list_people`, the agent processes records in batches to avoid hitting the intelliHR API rate limits.

You use the MCPServerStreamableHttp class from the SDK. Pass the Vinkius URL to this class, and your OpenAI agents will automatically discover tools like `get_person` and `list_jobs`.

No. Your employee records, pay rates, and training history are fetched in real time from the intelliHR API. Vinkius runs the MCP Server in an ephemeral, zero-trust sandbox that never stores your HR data.
