Run automated billing with OpenAI Agents SDK

Stop writing manual API glue code for your billing workflow. When your OpenAI Agents SDK agent handles a customer signup, it calls `create_client` to register them and immediately executes `create_invoice` to generate their first bill. This MCP Server works directly with your agent's safety guardrails. The OpenAI Agents SDK inspects the tools before execution, so you can trace every single Invoice Ninja action inside your OpenAI dashboard without worrying about rogue agent behavior.

Secure agent handoffs for payment tracking

Let specialized OpenAI Agents SDK agents manage separate parts of your cash flow. A support agent can check payment status using `get_payment`, then hand off the conversation to a billing specialist agent to issue a new item via `create_product` if a purchase failed. You configure this by passing the server to your OpenAI Agents SDK agent list. By setting `cacheToolsList=True` in your Python setup, your agents discover these Invoice Ninja tools instantly without slowing down response times during active customer chats.

Keep your customer database in sync

Your OpenAI Agents SDK agents can audit your records by running `list_clients` to find discrepancies. If a client updates their details in your chat, the agent calls `get_client` to verify the existing record and updates it on the fly. Connecting this MCP toolset means your OpenAI Agents SDK system does not need a middleman database. It talks straight to Invoice Ninja, ensuring your CRM and your billing platform stay aligned.

Setup guide

Set up Invoice Ninja 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 Invoice Ninja tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Invoice Ninja MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the package using pip, then initialize the server connection using the MCPServerStreamableHttp class. Pass this server instance inside the mcp_servers list when constructing your agent.

Yes, you can control tool access through the SDK's built-in guardrails. This prevents the agent from running write operations like create_invoice while still letting it fetch records.

Set cacheToolsList to True when configuring your server parameters. This keeps tool definitions cached in memory, preventing unnecessary network roundtrips when your agent boots up.

Every tool execution, such as running list_payments, is fully traced. You can monitor these calls directly in your OpenAI developer dashboard to audit what your agent does.

The MCP Server runs in a sandboxed V8 execution environment, ensuring your client details and financial records are never stored. Your API tokens are encrypted, and data flows directly between your OpenAI Agents SDK agent and the billing endpoint.
